Application for Reasonable Adjustment
Ikon has strategies in place to ensure that students with additional needs are reasonably accommodated within their learning environment to ensure equal opportunity and access to education.

Reasonable adjustments are made to ensure that students are not presented with barriers to learning or the demonstration of their learning in their studies. Reasonable adjustment may include :
• The use or loan of adaptive/assistive technology or equipment for use by people with a disability or illness to enable them to undertake their study/ assessment in a fair and equitable manner. (e.g. seating)
• Alternative methods of assessment (e.g. verbal assessment)
• Individual conditions of assessment (e.g. seating arrangements, additional 10 minutes per hour, toilet/rest/exercise breaks, bite sized food/drink)
• Accessible learning formats (e.g. large print materials, coloured exam paper)
• Provision of a scribe
• Referral to additional services.

PROCESS FOR APPLYING FOR REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT
Reasonable adjustment is an adjustment made for students with additional needs. Generally, an application for reasonable adjustment is made at the time of a student’s initial enrolment, however, a student can make an application at any time during their enrolment.
Reasonable Adjustment is used when ongoing support is required throughout a course of study.
If a single, unforeseen, significant event disrupts your study, you should follow the Application for Special Consideration Process. https://ikon.instructure.com/courses/465/pages/special-consideration

Please ensure that you provide your Registered Medical/Health Practitioner Form to your designated Practitioner to complete.
