[quote=Anonymous]I would encourage your student to seek every and ALL accommodations they can in college. They don't have to use them for each and every test/midterm or evaluation - but having them set up and knowing you can use them is a huge benefit to your student.

Our student with a similar profile didn't like using accommodations in high school but has been a huge self-advocate in college - they determine per class what they will use - and the accommodations office was very helpful during the initial meeting to provide additional ideas for resources they had never used or thought to use. It's a small school - we needed to ensure they wouldn't fall through the cracks. With that said - there seems to be a drain on testing centers and personnel to manage accommodations at schools - even UMD - has such a large demand that it has been difficult to maintain - I would work on getting your student to be their own best advocate for what they need - regardless of the place they land.
