[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the link, PP. We are not in FCPS.

I hesitated to put this post on the SN forum because DD is so slightly affected at school by her learning disability. But this is an instance where her disability is, I believe, the root of the problem. [/quote]

PP here, sorry for multiple posts.

I would like to very gently suggest that this perspective may be part of the problem.  If your DD has LDs that create anxiety, make it hard to follow directions, etc., she needs and deserves the help and support of the school system.  She can't get that if you are avoiding working with the school or getting her formal accommodations -- I know it's hard as you may not want to "label" her, but this is clearly not in her best interest.  With appropriate accommodations, she might be able to shed a lot of her anxiety and be happier at school.  My own DD struggles with similar issues regarding instructions on tests and she's also a very bright, honor roll student.  But these struggles cause her a LOT of anxiety and stress, even though teachers might have no idea if she didn't have a 504.
