Theory test for dyslexic friend

[kaw69]

Hi My friend has dyslexia and is applying to take his test, we have been on the dvla website and taken the free test but he had difficulty reading the questions. When I read the questions he answered them correctly is there any help at test centres for people like my friend.
TIA

"If you have dyslexia or other reading difficulties you can ask for an English or Welsh voiceover. You can also request to have up to double time for the multiple choice part of the theory test. If you require more than the standard time of 40 minutes for the multiple choice part you will need to send in evidence of your reading difficulty to the theory test booking customer services."
