[quote=Anonymous]I have a 7th grader with ADHD and processing speed issues (diagnosed by psycho-educational psychologist).  He has some of the typical accommodations given in his 504, including extended time for testing.  He is very bright and most of his issues are around organization, distraction, and of course the slow processing.

He does not use the extended time accommodation for all subjects.  He claims he always uses it in math, and sometimes in other subjects.  However, in our 504 meeting, all the teachers claimed he never uses it!  Administrators tried to take away the accommodation based on the teachers' reports.  They also cited the fact that he is doing so well (straight As and no behavior issues) so he doesn't need the accommodations anymore.

What does one do when teachers either lie or just forget that your child is using an accommodation?  Who does the administrators believe in a case where there is a discrepancy in what is happening during testing??

This is the second year they tried to take away the accommodation for the same reason.  I am exhausted dealing with these clowns.[/quote]
