I've been told by the support team at my school that I cannot get extra time for my exams because I don't have a cognitive impairment.
My problem is that I'm on a really high amount of medicine (the specialist I saw recently was actually shocked that I was put on them but that's a whole different thing) that severely impact my processing speed and just overall make me slower. I have also developed a severe tremor in my hands which also slow down my writing speed.
I have been told I can have rest breaks which obviously cannot compinsate for the tremor and a laptop for exams which I don't think will help much either.
I've been told by multiple teachers that they think I'd be able to get extra time but the woman in charge of it refuses.
I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this or a similar situation as I'm really at a loss and not sure how I'll cope.
Thank you!
