According to the "special needs" type section of the website there is no special arrangement for piano regarding pedals as "various controls" exist to aid wheelchair users and various people without control over their feet. Well, II went looking for such things and all the results on Google were about the same single device which is in a very preparatory stage of "may become" available to disabled pianists. As it happens I can manage the pedal on my digital piano because you can switch around which pedal is which and turn off the middle one entirely so it can be used as a place to rest the foot to bump it over and back, it's hard to explain. But to go and try to take a piano exam on a proper grand where a pedal needs to perform a genuine mechanical action is not going to happen.

Has anyone ever seen anything that might be described as a device to aid a disabled person in controlling the pedals? The hand control I have on my car can be fitted to ones own piano, but only by drilling a hole through the pedal, (hi Mr examiner, and this is Andy, my joiner) and in any case your hands are kinda busy playing the piano!

Is your digital piano at all portable? Sometimes they can be dismantled and moved (Probably with the aid of a couple of strong men) So perhaps it could be taken to the exam centre?? (No idea what I'm talking about as usual, except they used to take the digital piano at my children's junior school to the church for harvest etc and I know it was taken off it's stand and put in the back of the car)

The only other thing I can think of is that it might be possible to find a centre (Maybe at a local school) where there is a digital piano similar to your own. Obviously it wouldn't be the main paino used for the exams, but they must have access arrangements for people in your position.

Would the local representative be able to suggest anything, or whatever the level up from them is. There must be disabled pianists around.

It might be worth having a look here:
