Not so much special education, more special exam conditions.

I have ADHD and dysgraphia (chronically bad at handwriting). For exams I was allowed to opt into using a computer to write for my exams in high school. All of the special exam students were in a separate room from most of the students, and it was disconnected from the internet and there was a teacher watching us much more closely than the main group.

This was really good for me, and I would have done much worse if it wasn’t for this. Sure, I didn’t use it for every exam, since typing maths is slow and painful, but for the essay exams it was great.

With a big police department, that means they get plenty of volunteers for the fire department
