[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly it does not sound like you have a good legal argument for this. Just let them drop it and let your DS figure out what works for him. Just because his working memory and processing speed may be comparatively lower than other areas of intellectual functioning does not mean he is disabled. [/quote]

Just a FYI because I will likely be dealing with this prevailing attitude of "disability". My daughter has allergies. We will be submitting a 504 for her so that her classroom does not use her allergens in the classroom for education, she is not required to share supplies and only uses her own, and that her lunch table be cleaned and her seated at the end to reduce # of people/risk. Further, the nurse and teacher will both be required to have epis. The epis will be handed off to specials, will be required to be with her at lunch and recess.

The OPs son does have a disability and so does my daughter per 504. It doesnt matter if they still make As with their disability and accommodations. [/quote]

No, you do not get every accommodation you ask for just because you have a diagnosis on paper. And of course allergies are far different although even with allergies you are not entitled to everything you ask for.

What the school seems to be saying is that OP’s son is getting good grades in an accelerated math class without extra time so he doesn’t need the accommodation of extra time. [/quote]

An accommodation for equal access. Not grade-level access. If that was the case then no accommodations should be made for any student doing "above grade-level" work or GT/Honors/AP. 
Are you suggesting that if he were making As in a grade-level class he would also not be given accommodations? Or would he need to fail the grade-level non accelerated course for accommodations to be sufficiently warranted?
