Support card
At the start of the school year, our remedial teacher speaks to all pupils diagnosed with dyscalculia, dyslexia, or any other (language) problem. If necessary, the remedial teacher issues a support card to the pupil. This card details the resources or guidance the pupil requires. Pupils who do not have dyslexia or dyscalculia but could benefit from additional measures for other reasons are also eligible for a support card.
Exams
For these pupils, only extra time is permitted during the exam, and in some cases, a computer with a speech function.
Testing measures
In practice, many dyslexic pupils already benefit from the way all pupils are treated at Haarlem College. For instance, there isn't too much text on tests. A larger font size is used as standard. A test must fit within the lesson and be deliverable by all pupils on time. A dyslexic pupil is entitled to extra time, but often won't need to make use of this due to the aforementioned measures.
