[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on my own DDs experience in MCPS, most of her accommodations are optional for her to use.  Like “if you have extended time and want to use it, come during lunch to get started on the test.”  Outside of standardized testing where they put kids with extended time in the same, separate room, I can’t think of any accommodation in my DDs 504 that is not elective on an “incident by incident” basis.

Also, TONS of kids get extended time.  My DD said that there are maybe 100 or 120 AP gov students and like 25 of them were in the room that received extra time.  That felt crazy to me but it is almost becoming standard at this point.

My DD also gets social burnout so her favorite accommodation is preferential seating.  If she is by someone too chatty or too distracting she just uses her preferential seating accommodation and moves.  There may be some advantages he is under considering and few downsides at this point.  Maybe he can be convinced that there is little downside so why not do it?

Thank you.  The preferential seating would be a big help so I will point that out to him.[/quote]
