From what I've been told it'd be no to extra time but you can likely get a laptop. You'd need to ask your senco though.

Please ask your school SENCO. My child was under consultant care for their Raynaud’s, and on medication. They were permitted to sit their exams in a warm room, as they were shown to have had problems writing in the sports hall where the main exams were sat due to drafts and cold temperatures. They were not given extra time, but were permitted to take timed breaks if necessary.
