[etni] Theory Driving test--HELP NEEDED!!

**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il   http://www.etni.org   ****

This list has proven itself over and over in helping people solve  problems, 
even unrelated to English teaching.  Maybe you can help me.   I know a 17 
year old , 11th grader who is taking driving lessons.  He now needs to take 
a theory test. When it comes to school, this student has every hakala and 
hatama and 07 possible.  He has trouble with reading comprehension and with 
multiple choice  exams.  he is not verbally expressive and has trouble  
retrieving words.   He has closed tests in school.   Now we come to the 
"theory test"  and he is told, sorry you have to take the  test like 
everyone else.  No exceptions and nothing taken into account.   WHY IS HE, 
ALL OF A SUDDEN , EXPECTED TO TAKE AND PASS A TEST LIKE "REGULAR" 
STUDENTS????    The only hakala that Misrad HaRishui gives is an oral test 
in Holon  (you have to go twice-- once to make an appointment and again to 
actually take the test)  but in his case oral doesn't help!!  He needs a 
multiple choice test with only 2 distractors for each question (not 4).  Is 
this too much to ask for?
Real life driving is not  multiple choice!!  He knows the answers and what 
to do,  he just can't weed out the wrong answers!     I don't even know who 
to turn to anymore (I  have spoken to his m'avchen, his driving teacher and 
his yo'etzet from school).     This boy CANNOT be the first and only  
example of this!!    How did other people solve this problem???
I'll be happy to hear any  suggestions or words of encouragement.    Fruma
