[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school has denied extra time for my 10th grader with ADHD and dysgraphia.  They have been very ambiguous about it, saying there are specific "requirements" he must meet in his neuropsych testing that he did not meet.  In other words, they say his neuropsych results are too high functioning, despite the severe ADHD plus dysgraphia diagnosis.  They say they get their requirements from the College Board (SAT).  I don't really know if I should believe them, or if they just don't want to give him accommodations for extra time.  They did give him an accommodation for typing instead of writing by hand.

Does anyone know what criteria the College Board uses when granting extra time?  For example, do you have to have a specific level of processing speed?[/quote]

Has he been getting and using extra time at school?  That's generally the requirement.  A kid who has been getting and consistently using their extra time since starting high school will receive the accommodation.  [/quote]
