The pp who had no problem getting the extra time on the act and sat is not typical. As a high school counselor, I saw many many kids with 504 plans get turned down by the college board when they requested extended time for testing.

Maybe the differnce is betweenthe 504 and and IEP. We applied for accommodations for my DC for the SAT last spring and heard back within 2 weeks in the affirmative. Yes to time and a half, yes to a scribe and yes to a reader.

This is the problem. 504s are not enforceable by law. IEPs are. In FCPS the 504s are worthless because the SN administrators know the parents can't fuss. You must have an IEP if you are serious about receiving accommodations. You will have to fight for it, though.

That's because a) they had 504s not IEPS, and b) SAT and ACT expects you to appeal. Parents should expect to be turned down for extended time - then you go through the appeal process and have all your shrinks, testers, and tutors weigh in.
