Dyslexia
Hi Guys
I have got a student who has told me he is dyslexic - his reading and writing skills are very poor.
Is there any way he can take the PPL exams without being able to read / write?
Does anyone know if special arrangements can be put in place (eg the examiner reads out the questions and records the anwers)?
Does anyone have any practical experience of how that might work in the Nav exam, which requires a fair bit of calculation?
He has held other professional technical qualifications with exam requirements, thougfh I haven't quizzed him yet on how those exams were handled.
I don't know whether Dyslexia is classed as a "disability" and so covered by the Disability Discrimination rules, and / or whether there are any opt-outs to those rules for aviation - anyone know?
I'm not new to pprune but I'm using a different username to better protect the anonimity of my student.
Thanks
