[quote=Anonymous]My kid is dyslexic and I think universal accommodations are really helpful. My kid won’t take many accommodations, but he is helped when they are just normal. My feeling is that school shouldn’t be a competition. If giving everyone extra time means everyone writes a better essay, great. The point is to write a good essay, not do it faster than others. Other examples are calculators or multiplication tables or word banks available to all students, and not just dyslexic kids in lower school. My kid needed those things, and it made it easier for him to use them if everyone else had them available, too.[/quote]
