[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
So if my child is on grade level with low Cs school will deny accomodations with legal diagnosis?
Child diagnosed with extremely low processing speed, cannot be trust to bring homework  and will not write down homework if it is given orally. Needs extra time with big writing  in class assignments (very laboros writing.)
Basically if no accomodations are done, there is no opportunity for success. With small accomodations you can get A, B student.
So what options do I have for my child to succed and be productive? None?

Yes, unfortunately I think this is the case.  My son is a 4th grader in the AAP program.  He has ADHD and can never remember to write his homework or to let me know when he has tests.  Because he is bright, when he finds something interesting in class he gets 100 in the tests.  When he doesn't and does not study at home, he'll get a 60 percent.  So he averages 80 percent.  I have asked for accommodations, to please let me know when he has tests.  But unfortunately most of the things that his neuropsych evaluation recommends,  requires a 504.   But because he does so "well" enough he does not qualify.  I can only  imagine he would do fantastic if he had a chance to study for his tests.  It is very frustrating. [/quote]
