[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, I don’t have any experience to help. A parallel that may help you think it through, though, might be my kid’s dyslexia. His disability means spelling isn’t graded when he writes a story, because the point is commuting the story. He can dictate it, use speech to text, use a spell checker, etc. Those are accommodations that allow him to show his skill in writing. But he still does take spelling tests and those are graded, because the skill that is being assessed is spelling. He may fail. That’s a bummer, but the fact is the skill being assessed is one in which he is weak. For your daughter, I think if the skill is learning anatomy, your suggested accommodation might work. If the skill is lab techniques, though, then she would be graded on dissection. I don’t know what that would be important, but just wanted to share some thought process for how you might approach the convo with the school.[/quote]
