Can I give Ms Feeney my experience? I know it does and that is an issue. How mathematics is being looked at from the point of view of dyslexia is a real issue regarding extra time because it proves that students need extra time to go through the process for them to understand the question. If they understand the question they more than likely fly through it, but understanding is the key thing. There is the reading pen is a slower model. It does not work as fast as reading it, so we have a real issue here with project maths and how it is operated and how we need to move this forward is the obvious issue. We are not reinventing the wheel here. This is about trying to get additional time for kids who just need a little bit of help when it comes to understanding the question.
