I wondered if someone would ask 
We are a school and sometimes students with difficulties get a laptop to do 
exams. Since everyone else is writing the answers the exam boards say the 
spell checker must be disabled in such a way that it is not possible to use 
during the exam so not to give these students an unfair advantage.

If the disability has to do with dyslexia, reading or fine motor skills 
impairment requiring computer assistance then would not an automated 
spell-checker itself be the normal accommodation?  Who is making these rules? 
 
Hallo Is interesting fact because had here never Computer in school but
that case I have dyslexia my spelling does not count even subjects like
German or English. In my time had we person where I could dictate to
other. I my case that spell check would not kill all mistakes there your
must remove orthography check.
