We always make it very clear to parents and others concerned (usually in
review meetings) that a "diagnosis" of dyslexia does not automatically
entitle that child to any dispensation in exams. The child has to meet the
criteria set by the examining board in order to receive dispensations. A
child with a statement won't automatically get it either. It will all depend
on whether their levels of difficulty fall within the exam board criteria
for dispensation.
My statemented child didn’t get any dispensation because his literacy had
improved and his scores fell outside the criteria. On the other hand my
other child who was not statemented did get dispensation.
