Pilot Study To Investigate the Performance of Dyslexic Students in Written Assessments.
Osborne, Polly
Innovations in Education and Training International, v36 n2 p155-60 May 1999
Investigates the performance of dyslexic students in two modes of written assessment: coursework and examinations. In examinations, students were allowed additional time and were offered the option of using a word processor instead of handwriting. Findings suggest that dyslexic students are still disadvantaged in examinations, despite the special provision available to them. (AEF)
