[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The question isn't weather or not a kid on Adderall can get extra time, it is if they can get extra time on the ACT if they DON'T get extra time at school.  Idiot.  [/quote]

Please, no need to name call. My child doesn't see those students using accommodations at school.[/quote]

Okay. But your kid is not all knowing. My kid is embarrassed about needing extra time-- and anyway, if the test takes the whole class, there is not time to complete it with extra time.  So my kid's teachers give him one or two pages of the test at a time.  And he finished the last 1/3 of the test before school, after school, during 8th period (TJ), or during lunch.

You kid may not see them using accommodations, because the teachers are discrete to protect the kids privacy.  But that does not mean they are not used. And, again, a teacher and the school must certify that they are used regularly, as part of the application. [/quote]
