[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]most kids would like extra time. If you're talking about tests like the SAT, you have to apply to the college board for any accomodations (like extra time, extra breaks, small group testing, etc). They require a lot of justification that the accomodation is needed and even then they are very stingy in granting accomodations. I just went through this with my DS who has autism. We applied for 6 accomodations and got 2. Unfortunately the 2 that were the most critical for my DS were denied.[/quote] Actually it is not true that most kids would like extra time. One of my children NEEDS extra time. The other gets tests done with time to spare. Extra time can be a burden. My DC has to find time in the school day to actually take or finish time and half tests. Often that means going without lunch. And taking SATs for 6 hours is no treat either. Given a choice I can assure you she would prefer not to need the extra time.[/quote]
