I have dyslexia and I was allowed a note taker and time and a half on exams. I was appreciative of the note taker – it allowed me to really listen to the lectures, but the extra time embarrassed me.

I didn’t need it and they made me take the exams in a different room with someone watching me. If I didn’t take the extra time I would be questioned about whether I was really learning disabled (great term) and had any right to the accommodations. No easy answer here.
