I'm sure the answer to this question can help many other teachers.
 
I have a diagnosed pupil who has the accommodation of "hakraah" and since she 
has difficulty using the tape, she can be read to by a teacher. So far so good.
 
This pupil also has an accommodation "hachtava lebochen zar" which allows her 
to read her answers  to the tester. The tester writes down her answers on a 
different copy of the test. Both tests are then sent to the ministry. Is this 
type of accommodation legitimate for the English bagrut? The student's copy and 
the tester's copy might not be the same since the pupil, while reading his 
answer, might add or change his answers.
 
I know that the accommodation of "shiatuk" (copying) requires both copies to be 
identical, however, the above mentioned is not "shiatuk".
 
Since our 12th graders will be taking the winter bagrut, we urgently have to 
inform the ministry of all our special requests concerning l.d. pupils.
 
I hope I get an official answer.
Thanks, 
Gmar Chatima Tova
