Seams a balanced and 'reasonably practicable' response to a 'foreseeable' problem and in order to have come up with something else the applicant would have to offer some feedback on mitigative offer of an extra 20% time.
If the time alone was not sufficiently assistive then the applicant would need to let them know that they may require a 'reader' or a 'scribe' depending upon level of disability.
However, in this instance not sure a reader would have helped as in order tobe fair to other applicants the reader would not be able to be interprative of the psychometric questions as readers psychi perhaps might have been reflected in the answers.........?
Nevertheless, good to explore as far to many Fe colleges just offering extra time as a placebo to avoid actually using disability funding that often gets swollowed up in general accounting leaving nothing for disabled students..
Hearing from more and more disabled HE undergraduates who secure funds for needs driven support to find regardless of constant reminders it is never actually delivered by time completed degree or in recent case a Masters in software engineering undertaken by a lad with cerebral paulsy who was unable to speak and a little wobbly but work sounds like Hawkins.
I wonder just how many people with communication problems are written off as stupid or useless just because of their reading and writting difficulties ?
