Access arrangements & reasonable adjustments
According to JCQ, a computer reader may allow students to demonstrate their attainment more effectively and independently than would be possible with a human reader (JCQ Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments 2017-18). It can even be used in papers or sections of papers where reading is being assessed, unlike a human reader.
Read&Write is approved for use in GCSE and A-Level exams and is now being used by many schools up and down the UK to support students who would normally qualify for the support of a human reader. The benefits to this are enormous, saving the school money and lots of staff resourcing time.
