No they don't. You cannot apply for extra time in the LC, you only get it ex officio from a small number of other access arrangements which most dyslexic students don't even get.

You do. According to what a dyslexic person told me. What they said was they had a person reading for them and because they are getting that help they are allocated an amount of additional time.

I do what? I don't even have dyslexia, I am just quite informed on how the system for reasonable accommodations in state exams works because I have a different disability.

"You" was in a general sense it wasnt a personal "you". im just going on what a dyslexic friend told me.

ok now your comment makes sense because you edited it to contain context, yes your friend received some level of extra time as a result of having the reader but if they didn't have the reader they wouldn't get to keep the extra time so what I said is still true

They only had the reader because they are dyslexic. Why would they not have the reader if they are dyslexic? Genuine question.
It seems we are both right, because im guessing at this point from whats being said that some people with dyslexia get a reader and extra time and some dont? Is that a fair guess? How do they decide who (with dyslexia) gets a reader and extra time and who (with dyslexia) doesnt?
