[quote=Anonymous]Definitely ask for accommodations. My DS just finished 3rd grade. He has very similar profile, but is also diagnosed with dysgraphia. The amount of written work is overwhelming, time-wise. There are definitely "tests" in 3rd grade, both in class and system-wide. If you have documented slow-processing your DC should definitely have extra time on tests and minimized distractions environment. Watch your DC's organizational capacity carefully. You may find that your DC needs "special instruction" for self-organizing and planning, monitoring and completing work. The need for specialized instruction would kick you up to an IEP level, instead of the 504. [/quote]
