Ms Sive O'Brien:

With regard to the spelling and grammar waiver, if that is not in place for my exams, I will be in such bother. Accommodations are not to boost people above everyone else, but to bring them to the same level and even the playing field. Extra time is something I need to be level with everyone else. If someone’s glasses are taken away before an exam, they cannot see. This is the same thing. Dyslexia is not made-up. People struggle with spelling and processing speed. Accommodations are in place to allow them to be level with their peers and for the hard work they put in to show.
