[quote=Anonymous]DD9 is very farsighted and has amblyopia. She patched from age 2.5 until sometime in first grade; although she has a high prescription, her eyes now work fairly well together and she can see 3D. We thought all of her vision issues were controlled. However, last week she told us that she has trouble with the school computer screens. Her SOL test results were lower than expected based on her performance in written work last year -- she said her eyes got tired during the computer testing and the words jumped around on the screen. She said they would not let her increase the font size (which we encourage at home). I now have a note from her ophthalmologist requesting paper testing and permission to increase the font size for computer work. What do I need to do to seek a formal accommodation for her vision issues?[/quote]
