I am supporting a client into employment. They have a written interview and the employer has no idea what adjustments to allow. I believe additional time (up to 25%?) may be reasonable. Any ideas gratefully received.

Yes, at school this is what you are allowed.

You could also suggest that your client is allowed to use a laptop rather than handwritten notes if he finds this easier. It depends on how much he struggles with hand writing and spellings.

Personally i would not tell people who havnt employed me that i am dsylexic. Sounds harsh but would want to wait until i have got the job. Unless this will be very obvious from his exam.
