Student eith Irlens syndrome

[reddebs]

Hi Can anyone help me - I have been tutoring a child with Irlens syndrome and have ben preparing her work on gold coloured paper as this has been found to be the best colour for her condition.
How do we go about applying for dispensation for the 11+?
Regards

Dear Reddebs

Take a look at the Bucks decision on SEN and the 11 plus, although Bucks specific, it shows the nationwide legal framework.

My daughter has Irlens syndrome and has blue tinted glasses to combat the condition. I did phone the CSSE in Essex to ask whether there would be any special dispensation for her in terms of extra time but was told not although obviously she was allowed to wear her tinted glasses.
