[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8th grader with new 504 (LDs and slow processing). We debated including a provision in the 504 to balance work not have too many tests on one day, ultimately decided not to. However, already ran into situations of hitting overwhelm when there have been 3 or more tests on the same day. Running into this situation and actually feel like if we say something there will be flexibility, but also wonder if we should just use this as practice, work on study habits etc. Also thinking if we might want to try and revise for high school, don’t want an “the time” extension but ability to ask for one off flexibility….

Any thoughts navigating this?[/quote]

My NT high schooler had a concussion and we asked the school for this accommodation for four weeks (along with a bunch of others like extra time for tests, being able to work with teachers so he could take tests in the morning, and being allowed breaks to take naps in the nurses office).

The school agreed. We didn’t do a formal 504, they just informally agreed based on doctor’s guidance.

Here was my experience. At least at the HS level he had so many tests and quizzes it was virtually impossible to accomplish this. He had to very strategically use his accommodations, maybe by just trying to isolate STEM tests and quizzes away from other tests and quizzes but accepting that for the rest of his classes he’d likely be having more overlaps.

The testing/quiz schedule might be less intense in middle school, but putting that experience out there to consider.[/quote]
