[quote=Anonymous]DC was diagnosed with executive functioning and other issues at the beginning of high school after struggling mightily in MS. DC was entitled to extra time on tests and on the SAT. All of this was established at the beginning of 9th grade. I seem to recall being told that the accommodations for the SAT had to be sought very early in HS, but I could be mistaken. The accommodations were not disclosed in the college application process to my knowledge, but for all I know it was disclosed in the recommendation his college counselor drafted. After Senior year DC was retested and the accommodations were renewed for college. I do not know whether he ever used them in college. FWIW, the extra accommodations did not result in great grades. He still struggled at the private he was at and was a middle of the pack if not lower student. But having the diagnosis gave him some context for why he was struggling. [/quote]
