[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suggest you get this post moved to the "special needs" forum on DCUM, maybe. Parents there have kids who often need accommodations. Most posts there are about much younger children but there's more knowledge about accommodations there. Ideally I'd put your post both there and in this forum too. [/quote]

Ugh, the last thing the SN board needs is a “are accommodations just garbage” post from an educator. [/quote]

Well, I think it is reasonable and respectful for a professor to ask this and ask it anonymously.  It may be that with some insight, the professor can do a better job tailoring assignments.   This accommodation is a tough one if the assignment is to be discussed in class on the due date, but if assigned a week early has no meaning.  Perhaps with some understanding about what the extra week achieves, the professor can come up with some creative ways to make sure the student can participate fully while still meeting her needs.

I can tell you that my son, and for many I have taught, this accommodation would have been a disaster, so I was wondering what the answers would be, myself.[/quote]
