Help with Appeal for Bucks with Dyslexia
Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help. I have a dyslexic child who should have got extra time, as the educational psychologist report suggested, but Bucks County only allowed half the time recommended time. At the time we emailed bucks insisted that this was not correct but were told the decision cannot be overturned but if my child did not get the required score we could appeal. My child got much lower score than expected.
We are now considering an appeal. I was hoping if anyone else has been in this situation that can advise?
thanks

Welcome!
It is - or seems - quite hard to get extra time (or the full amount requested).
Were any other adjustments offered?
The panel will want to establish just how severe the dyslexia is.
Above all, they will need to be satisfied about very high ability.
