When exam season looms, most students and schools prepare for the usual structure: final exams, controlled assessments, and strict timetables. But what happens when a student can’t sit an exam — not because of timing, stress, or last-minute illness — but because their disability makes the assessment inaccessible even when all reasonable adjustments have been tried? That’s where Alternative Evidence Assessment (AEA) comes in. It’s one of the least-talked-about parts of the JCQ’s 2025–26 regulations, yet for some students, it can make all the difference. This blog post breaks down what AEA actually is, - [CandLE Zone of Proximal Development](https://candleaac.com/2025/10/30/candle-send-position-statement-copy/): CandLE Zone of Proximal Development (ZDP) Assessment and Teaching Framework Based on the work of Lev Vygotsky and Reuven Feirstein, the ZPD assessment identifies the learning outcomes that a student can achieve when given appropriate support[1]. This is a different approach to baseline assessment which identifies what a student appears to know or not know. The ZPD is the gap between what the learner can do independently and what they can achieve with scaffolding, prompts and questioning. It is important that the learner is not given the answer, just hints and tips to help them to work the problem out - [CandLE SEND Position Statement](https://candleaac.com/2025/10/26/candle-send-position-statement/): CandLE Position Statement on Proposed SEND reforms 16th of October 2025 CandLE Position Statement on Proposed SEND reforms 16th of October 2025 Case studies of students CandLE support   All these students were originally deemed to be unable to access conventional learning, and all rely on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) as an Assistive Technology (AT) solution to provide an adaptive learning environment to optimise their learning outcomes. These students have all been labelled as having severe (SLD) or Profound and Multiple Learning Disability (PMLD) and all have physical disabilities. According to controversial research[i] these students are often deemed as - [A new look at teaching maths...](https://candleaac.com/2025/08/06/a-new-look-article/): A new look at teaching maths to students who have communication and physical disabilities: Moving beyond counting. Article by: Marion Stanton (2025), MA, PGCE, Adv. Dip. Ed. Special, AAC Level 7, MCCT Head of Education for CandLE Limited There is clear evidence that students with communication and physical disabilities encounter difficulties with developing their arithmetic skills (Rooijen et al, 2015). I have spent many years observing students struggling with early counting to 10 and being rote taught the same concepts every day. I have witnessed the same students being taught the same basic number skills year after year, which every - [What Happens if the Government Remove EHCPs?

They need independent means to engage with learning materials so that their learning can develop through repetition with variety, reminders, and practice. Finally, they need a means to record their answers.  This is best achieved using an on-screen keyboard with word-prediction making the learning of literacy essential. However, symbol-based vocabularies and/or answers from multiple choice options may - [Article: Working Memory and AAC](https://candleaac.com/2024/02/22/working-memory-and-aac/): Working Memory and AAC Author: Marion Stanton Working memory is the facility we all use to manipulate information to arrive at an answer. An example would be a two-stage mental arithmetic sum such as 10-5+2=7. The student needs to take 5 from 10 but they also need to hold +2 in their working memory to retrieve and answer. Working memory only lasts approximately 15 seconds for any of us, so it is crucial that a student is only expected to have a maximum of 15 seconds thinking time for each question or part of a question they are working on - [Article: Introduction to Exams Access for Students who Rely on AAC](https://candleaac.com/2024/02/15/introduction-to-exams-access-for-students-who-rely-on-augmentative-and-alternative-communication-aac/): Introduction to Exams Access for Students who Rely on AAC Author: Marion Stanton The single most important criteria for asking exam boards to make reasonable adjustments is the ‘normal way of working’. Schools need to show that the adjustments the students require reflect the way in which they work in lessons as well as during tests, assessments, and exams. In addition, it is important to demonstrate that the student will not be given an unfair advantage through the reasonable adjustments being requested. Conversely, the exam boards must demonstrate that they are not creating an unfair disadvantage through lack of reasonable - [Article: Cerebral Visual Impairment – CVI](https://candleaac.com/2024/02/12/cerebral-visual-impairment-cvi/): Cerebral Visual Impairment – CVI Author: Marion Stanton What is CVI?
