No, I am saying if they stay in a mainstream setting they have educational opportunities but those opportunities cannot be measured because every individual student must be assessed on his or her own ability. If somebody is severely dyslexic, whether he or she has access to an SNA does not change the fact that he or she is dyslexic. The education he or she receives is down to the teacher and the relevant programmes - such as those which involve assistive technology or those which are part of the curriculum - that are in place. If there are two students with severe dyslexia, one with access to an SNA and one without, it is not possible to correlate their educational outcomes. That is impossible.
