[quote=Anonymous]My DD was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and adhd. She’s bright and can read, but it takes her MUCH longer to do her work than other kids. Her teachers have been informally accommodating her for a while by offering her extra time on various assignments…but the extra time on one assignment cuts into time on the next assignment. Right now, the stakes are very low—she has no homework, and “grades” in 3rd grade seem pretty meaningless. She scores 3s and 4s in most areas. What are accommodations that are actually useful for a kid who takes two or three times as long to complete work as peers, but is very capable of doing well on all of the work? Won’t giving her extra time just mean that she falls behind on other work? We are at a DCPS school. THANKS![/quote]
