Assessment arrangements are modifications to the way that assessments are administered to students with dyslexia. These arrangements can help to level the playing field for students with dyslexia, and allow them to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a way that is fair and equitable.

There are a variety of assessment arrangements that can be used to support learners with dyslexia. These arrangements can be divided into two main categories: accommodations and modifications.

• Accommodations are changes to the way that an assessment is administered, such as providing extra time or using a computer. Accommodations do not change the content of the assessment, but they can make it easier for students with dyslexia to access and complete the assessment.
• Modifications are changes to the content of an assessment. Modifications can include changing the format of the assessment, such as using multiple choice questions instead of essay questions, or reducing the number of questions on the assessment.

The decision of which assessment arrangements to use for a particular student will depend on the student's individual needs. It is important to work with the student and their parents to determine the best way to support them during assessments.

In addition to assessment arrangements, there are a number of other things that educators can do to support learners with dyslexia. These include:

• Providing extra time for reading and writing tasks
• Using multi-sensory approaches to teaching
• Providing opportunities for students to use their strengths
• Creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment

By providing appropriate assessment arrangements and support, educators can help learners with dyslexia to succeed in school and reach their full potential.
