To ensure a safe crossing,

beware ofthe following

misconceptions:

Major Error Number One

It doesn’t matter if they are

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

Deaf and hard of hearing students get the

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.

You must

check!

Major Error Number Five

The student with the hearing loss can’t do a LOG

for Modules D/F, because the school has

chosen the exam format.

These students were granted

the right to do

a LOG even if the

school choseexam

format.
