1) Student with dyslexia, aged 10

Mark was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 6 by a local psychologist. His parents have requested a re-assessment now that he is in Primary 5 and continues to experience difficulties with literacy. They would like to apply for access arrangements and seek exemption from Mother Tongue examinations, if he is eligible.

2) Student with dyslexia and math difficulties, aged 9

Joyce was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of seven by a local psychologist. She experienced ongoing difficulties with mathematics throughout the lower primary years and is now completing Primary 4. A comprehensive assessment for dyscalculia has been recommended to her parents.

3) Two Adolescents with dyscalculia, aged 15 and 17

Two adolescents were diagnosed with dyscalculia at Vision Psychology and both were previously assessed by local psychologists who did not fully recognize the characteristics of dyscalculia. One of the students developed secondary difficulties and the other experienced significant stress, struggling to manage and organize schedules, as math-related work constituted a substantial portion of homework and assignments. Both were eligible for access arrangements during exams.

4) Student aged 9, Dyscalculia, ADHD and ASD traits

Jennifer is currently attending Primary 4 and she demonstrates good skills in literacy. She displayed traits suggestive of ADHD and autism, although no formal diagnosis has been made. She struggles with mathematics despite receiving home-based intervention, and her examination results are lower than those of most of her classmates. A comprehensive assessment subsequently confirmed a diagnosis of dyscalculia.
