[senco-forum] Accessability for Exams

Hi All

I am looking for any information on generic word lists for SATs and/or GCSE
exams to make the papers more accessible to those with learning
difficulties. I have contacted the AQA exam board and they say that they are
unaware of anything like this and have not got back to me although they said
they would look into it.

Perhaps there are separate subject word lists or does anybody have fully
generic ones for all subjects or know of anywhere they might be accessed?
