does a weak-sighted child has the right for a magnified copy of his exams?

I agree with the person who responded previously.  In Canada and the US for sure, and I expect in many other countries,  this discrimination would not be permitted.  Your son would be allowed various options, from having the test in larger print to having it magnified to having it read to him.\n\nCheck with your local department of education.  Do you have a school board?  If so, go to your school board.  Possibly your community has a representative on the school board?  Go to whoever supervises your school.  Find out who is responsible for special education in your area.  Get legal advice if necessary.

I'm in Middle school and I'm blind in one eye and have limited vision in the other. There are a few hard parts 1 not being able to do somethings your friends and peers can, 2 not having teachers get papers enlarged so you can read them # having people hear "disability" and think you are mentally handicapped. But every day gives you new hardest things and you learn to work around them. My impairment has given me a lot of patients and helps me understand other people with disabilities.

for someone who thinks they have a mild form of dyslexia, you can spell and construct sentences well, I think you might just need your eyes tested. But your eye care specialist can refer you to someone if he/she things you have a form of dyslexia

Yes, as long as his/her vision is correctable with lenses.

examinations are taken to check the capability of a person in limited  time. it is not restricted upto school and college level but is a universal process which has proved to be  effective.

your local library is always a great resource.  Also, if the person wanting the book is vision impaired, you can look for services for the blind in your area.

As long as you make sure that nobody else than the people you would borrow the book get a copy of the scan it can be seen as fair use.\nDo not put it at any publicly accessible place - like a web server, a shared folder, etc.

The terms mild, moderate, or severe are trems the medical community likes to through out to help parents feel some sort of ease in their childs disability.  In concerns to the childs learning abitliy and how the teachers teach or treat students with learning disabilities, there should be not worries.  Let me explain... By law every student has the same right to an education without predjudice to their learning ability.  The student with a learning disability, (or his/her parents) need to let the school know that the student needs accomidation.  These accomidations are spelled out in every state and must be given to all who ask and are documented wtih a disability.  There are even accomidations for students that have no disabilities, that are required by law available for thier use.  Every school in the USA should have someone that works in Disability Support Services.  They will have all the information and acconidations avaliable for you. But Remember!!  YOU MUST ASK FOR ACCOMIDATIONS.  Once the advisor for disablity services has document the students needs, and gets it aproved by the state, a copy of that students accomidations is given to his/her instructors. The instructor are bound by law and the school to give those accomidation.\nAccomidations can range from:  extra time on test, private room for testing, scribe, lessons on tape, large text books,use of a calculator for ALL math, use of a computer.  This is a very short list of what may be available, but please don't give up.\nAs far as implications for the teacher, trust me there are NONE, we will do everything possible to help a student succeed, and I do mean everything,  Well except give them the answers.  Good luck, a disability support instructor.\nIn my site source, if you live in wisconsin (wi)type in your states initials.

Since your child already qualifies for special education (since he has an IEP), you have a serious fighting chance to get him into therapies if he needs them.\n\nOn what grounds did the school refuse ST and OT? Was formal diagnostic testing done? If you disagree with the formal diagnostic testing done by the school, you can demand an independent diagnostic evaluation using a private diagnostician of your choice, at the school's expense.\n\nIf no formal diagnostic testing for therapies was done, you are well within your rights to demand that they go forward with such testing, even if the other members of the IEP committee disagree.\n\nIf you can answer YES to even ONE of these questions, then your son probably does qualify for that therapy in the schools:\n\nSpeech-language:\nDoes his speech interfere with his ability to communicate with teachers and/or peers? \nDoes it interfere with his spelling or his ability to read?\nDoes he struggle to find the word he wants to say (or write), or does he use pointing and general words a lot ("the thing that did the stuff..." etc.)?\nDoes he not always understand what is said to him, when he is seriously trying to listen and understand?\n\nOccupational:\nIs his handwriting difficult or impossible to read?\nIs his handwriting very slow?\nIs he a sloppy eater (e.g. in the lunchroom)?\nDoes he have difficulty with loud noises, rough fabrics, picky eater, etc. (Sensory Integration issues) that make him distractible in the classroom?\n\nYou need to get an advocate from your own state that knows how your state's interpretation of IDEA will affect your son's rights.\n\nhttp://www.wrightslaw.com/info/advo.referrals.htm

When I studied abroad in England we had a blind system.  We were not allowed to put our name on them.  There was a little kiosk where you scanned your I.D. and the course I.D. and it printed 2 little receipts.  One got stapled to the paper you were handing in and you kept the other (as proof you turned in the assignment).  Then the papers got dropped off at a central office where they were sorted and given to the professors.  Grades were finalized before they handed them back in class.

i wouldnt say so...my lil sister went through grades 9 and 10 with barely passing marks.  My parents tried everything to get her to try harder, to get better marks.  Cash, punishment, vacations, you name it.  The teachers at her school finally told her to just try doing government schooling at home (called Distance Learning).  She is now doing much better, she can work at her own pace, and if she really needs help, she can go into the office and get it.  \n\nAgain, it could not be your child, it could be there environment.  And if you child really is trying, its not fair to the kid to punish them for their lack of abilities.

If your child shows gifted signs (NOT necessarily high grades, but certainly creativity, critical thinking, etc.), your child's school district should provide screening free of charge based on your request. If they refuse, ask for that refusal, with an explanation of why, in writing.\n\nLow grades alone are not adequate reasoning for why a child should not be tested (many gifted kids do poorly grade-wise, as they can be very unmotivated).\n\nIf you are looking for an independent diagnostician, try this site--ask them if they either offer diagnostic services, or can refer to somewhere that can:\n\nhttp://www.education.wisc.edu/rpse/

With out know which impairment the child has I can only offer a generalization.\n\nThink about the activity and which senses it involves.\nWhat do you want the child to learn?\nCan the activity be accomplished using other senses?\n\nThink of it like solving a puzzle and Try imposing the same impairment on yourself and experiment with different ways to achieve what effect you want.
