He is currently in year 9, and is about to tackle his first period of exams. I feel that, even though he has access to a laptop, and that it has been reccommended that he be allowed to use this, instead of writing, as much as is possible, by a psychologist and occupational therapist, his disability is not really being taken into account any more. My question is, how do I go about getting him special considerations , in exams etc. I feel that if I don't act now, whilst he is in year 9, by the time he gets to VCE, the system will definately not allow any special considerations for him. .
