[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. My advice is time consuming and not fail proof but I would appeal to individual teachers by meeting with them at the beginning of the year and then reminding them periodically about your child's situation.[/quote] Teachers can't make accommodations for kid without documented disabilities. It's a policy that protects the school, protects the child, and protects their peers from unfair advantages. In this case it sounds like there is a clear cut need for accommodations, but OP is refusing to use the structure that's in place because of ableism. Asking a teacher to cheat the system because of her own hang ups isn't reasonable. It's not fair to the teachers, and it's teaching her disabled child that their disability is something to be ashamed of. [/quote]
