Subject: Re: writing letters about the new LD "2 tapes" problem


Just to clarify - i was referring to the new directive - that LD kids
who can listen to the test from a tape AND ALSO dictate the answers to
a tape - used to be able to get from Judy an accommodation of a person
to read to them, so they wouldn't need to use 2 tapes at the same
time. As of summer 2008, they can not have the reader, so they will
have to use 2 tapes.

What Aviva wrote about (CDs or tapes) is also an issue, but I don't
agree with her, because my school has no way of recording tests on CDs
, so we would not be able to have the kids practice using CDs before
the bagrut...)
