I have a web site that has a list of things to check
for,, here is the short... it's at DyslexiaMyLife.org

1. Allow extended time to complete projects, term
papers, book reports, etc. Yes No Don't Know
2. Allow extended time to complete a test.
3. Allow student to dictate test answers.
4. Allow the test to be read to the student.
5. Allow the test to be taken with the learning
disabilities/resource teacher.
6. Allow the student to give oral answers to essay
questions.
7. Allow misspelling and grammar errors and grade the
content.
8. Allow a pocket calculator to assist with basic
calculations while student learns higher level math
concepts.
9. Allow student to count on fingers while doing math
and or sub vocalize while reading.
10. Allow student to do an alternate assignment in his
area of strength ( over the same material).
11. Allow partial credit if the student's procedures
were correct, but the final was incorrect due to
errors in computations.
12. Allow rephrasing of test questions.
13. Give the student a copy of your notes.
14. Give the student a written copy of homework
instructions.
