[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can do it on your own,or you can have the school do it, but it is really rare that a kid gets accommodations for ACT or CB without having an IEP or 504. You need a letter from the dr stating why he needs the accommodations. I was an SSD for a school and can tell you that they will deny you.[/quote] I know many parents with their seemingly normal kids on Adderall getting 50% extra time.[/quote] My "seemingly normal" kid on Adderall AT TJ gets 50% extra time. But what you don't know when you judge him, or kids like him, is that his GAI is more than 3 SDs above his PSI on an IQ test. And he is in the first percentile in auditory processing. Using accommodations in math (which is where he needs them most), he is a solid B student. Without them, he literally cannot pass the class. And he obviously needs accommodations in things like the listening portion of foreign language. You do your kid, I'll do mine. [/quote]
