Special needs.
Dyslexia dyspraxia and ADHD
Learning to drive with special needs can be a very daunting
feeling, however with the right approach and a Driving School that has 1st hand
experience of teaching pupils with these conditions the learning process can be
made a lot less stressful on all concerned, please do ask questions when
inquiring as other driving schools are copying and pasting this content with
little or no knowledge of these varying conditions.
Other conditions not mentioned above are most welcome.
The first thing any pupil wishing to learn to drive with special needs has to do
is to tell their driving instructor they have a condition, if you don't it'll
just take longer cost more and be a lot more frustrating for both parties.
As far as the theory test is concerned the system has the option
for dyslexic candidates to listen to the test being read in English through a
headset, voice-over's in 20 other languages are also available.
Dyslexic candidates can also apply to have up to double the standard time. You
need to ask when you apply for the test. A letter or report from a professional
should explain your reading ability i.e., a teacher, a psychologist, or Local
Dyslexia Association officer. You will have to phone again for a test date after
the report has been processed.
As a member of the Driving Instructors Association our driving school is fully insured and we have Professional Indemnity to £5,000,000 and Public Liability to £10,000,000.
