Does anyone know how reasonable adjustments work for written assessments? I'm pretty sure I've got ADHD (lucky me) cause it's getting worse and I'm struggling really hard to focus on one thing at once, so I think it would be smart for me to ask for reasonable adjustments. My first issue is that I don't have a formal diagnosis, do firms require that? And, I'm scared that it will reduce my chances of success because I'm worried they may not want to be burdened, should I just power through? If anyone has any tips/ has used reasonable adjustments before I would really appreciate it the advice :)
Yes, I am dyslexic and I send my assessment report when requesting reasonable adjustments.

Unfortunately you will typically need a formal diagnosis, as this will help to identify what the reasonable adjustment needs to be for you, as this will always be bespoke to you and your requirements.

For instance, my ADHD requires no time adjustments but I do require clear instructions or the ability to ask questions to get that clarity.

Hi does anyone know if ULAW provide textbooks for the PGDL? or do you have to order them?

Also, when do you choose the optional modules for the PGDL? I'm about to start in September online and I haven't been asked about any optional modules yet! I want to make sure I choose some that are more compatible with corporate law!
You order the textbooks online from their website, they emailed us a link
