[senco-forum] Assessing processing speed for extra time

We have been using Alcock timed writing to do this and altho it seems to be
acceptable we're not really happy with it

Since the real reason for extra time has to be slow reading or slow
processing  ( never mind what it says in the guidelines these are actually
the justifications) and since GCSE is aimed at the average pupil the
reading/processing has to be slower than average 

I've been asked to see if I can find out what others use as a measure of
processing speed ( no doubt I should have followed all the correspondance on
this topic so I apologise but please can you let me know! )
