[quote=Anonymous]How old is she that she’s doing labs? DS is now grown but when young he had respond in text booklet, typing and scribe. In certain situations where typing wasn’t feasible, a staff member would write for him. He wasn’t graded for artistic ability in art but for effort. I don’t recall him expressing frustration in science class though his fine motor skills affected him across a wide range of situations due to a muscle weakness. For example, he couldn’t cut well and he would struggle to open a container. I would see if you  can replicate the tasks of the lab at home (minus chemicals) to help with specific skills/strategies. It takes time to get accommodations put in place. If your daughter doesn’t have an IEP or 504 and attends public, it’s unrealistic to expect them to be provided in time for a final. Though if in a private school, the staff may be very responsive. DS attended a private school where I could make a suggestion in the morning and see it implemented within hours or at most days.
