[senco-forum] [SENco-forum] Use of Digital Recorder in A level lessons -Urgent help and advice needed for student with dyslexia

You have done the right thing in seeking voluntary permission, but the
English teacher really does not have any choice in the matter.  The student
can seek backing via the Disability Discrimination Act as this method of
working has been deemed a 'reasonable adjustment' to enable her to work
independently and it is up to the school to ensure that the reasonable
adjustment is made.

The wider issue is should all students be allowed to do this or can it be
done only on EP say so?

Alternatively teachers could record every lesson. - Edited versions could
then be uploaded to the website for any student to access if it supports
their style of learning.  Alternatively bits could be played back to
students /parents in the case of unruly or disruptive behaviour.  Too
intrusive?
