IDEAS WHEN ADAPTING A WRITTEN EXAM
* We must always remember that there will not be two identical cases and that therefore, the adaptation of the exam must be reviewed, previously with the students, taking as a reference the Action Protocol in Dyslexia (PRODISLEX)
- Before you start, create a climate of trust
- That if two exams are not given on the same date
- Being able to provide dates in advance
- That the typography be clear and the line spacing a little larger
- The teacher can read the questions aloud
- Provide more time to carry it out or, make it shorter or be able to answer some of the questions orally
- Being able to use the computer, if typing is mastered
- Allow the use of the spell checker
- be able to use the calculator
- Questions should be as precise as possible.
- Make sure that unanswered questions are not due to an attentional difficulty
- Submit the exam already written (avoid dictating the questions)
- Being able to use various question and answer formats
- (test type; true/false, …)
- Provide an explanation if there was a misunderstanding when reading the question
- To be able to use another sheet, to be able to…
- Let use eraser or tipex
- In the questions, highlight in bold, the keyword
- Do not ask two questions in one
- Leave a blank space under each question to be able to answer, without having to turn the page all the time.
- Being able to choose the paper to use
- Allow the use of capital or ligature letters
- Being able to complement the answer with a drawing or diagram
- Take into account the alternative material (notebook, project, works, oral presentations)
