What is AARA
A child’s education journey can be filled with many highs and lows. Assessments and examinations form a large part of these formative years, and depending on individual circumstances, can be a very trying time for the child and their families.
Whether it’s vision impairment, learning disorders, hearing difficulties, medical diagnosis or other challenging circumstances, there are many factors which can affect a child’s ability to complete assessments and examinations. That is where Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments (AARA) come into play.
As the name suggests Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments (AARA) are a group of adjustments that can be applied by a school at exam time, so a student with an eligible impairment can have access to attending and completing an examination with minimal barriers.
