beware ofthe following
misconceptions:
Major Error Number One

diagnosed with a learning disability
or a hearing problem, I give
them all the same allowances.
These students have their own set of allowances.
Major Error Number Two

computerized “Bagrut” Exam.
It isn’t suitable for a person who can’t hear well!
Major Error Number Three
All students with a hearing
problem get the same
allowances.
Severity of hearing loss influences allowances.
Major Error Number Four
“I had a student with a hearing
loss a few years ago. I don’t
need to be in touch with a counselor”.
Students are carefully
diagnosed. Needs vary.

check!
Major Error Number Five

can’t do a LOG for Modules D/F, because the
school has chosen the exam format.
