"I find Smart Worksheets a lot less stressful than full written lab reports and much easier to cope with in terms of my ADHD and anxiety. I feel that they allow people with learning difficulties to be assessed in a way that is more beneficial to our needs, and help us get the marks we may have lost out on in assignments with large chunks of writing, or take a lot longer to do."
