I don't know that much about children using voice recognition systems, but
I hope that she would not be prevented from using it just because she
would give away answers to other students. I would expect that the school
is sensitive enough to students with disabilities that they could find
some way to test her in a separate room. If they refuse, you might want
to check with someone to see if the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
applies to her situation.
