Protocol on providing medical evidence
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 2:41 pm
Hi
I have a daughter sitting her eleven plus for Grammar School in Lincolnshire this autumn who has recently been diagnosed with 'familial tremor'. This condition has been causing shaking, particularly in her hands. Her primary school have already commented that she has problems with drawing and fine detailed work. Her medical notes draw attention to her difficulty with fine motor skills.
I want to give her every chance in the exams and wondered if there is a way of making the examiners/schools aware before the exam, so as to perhaps avoid the lengthy appeal process. Could you please offer some advice.
Many thanks
Jacqui
