[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got a 55th on processing speed and 99th on everything else. If you take out the processing speed score, his average is a 158 (out of 160) on the WISC IV. He gets no accommodations. He runs out of time on every section and has a 29 on the ACT. He also struggles to finish tests at school and is a B student. According to his verbal and quantitative Iq scores, he should be the most capabale student, but because he is above the cutoff he does not qualify for accommodations.  A level playing field does not exist. [/quote]

Hi, does your kid get accommodations in school, and does he use them consistently?  When was he diagnosed?  You cannot expect to be given accommodations unless you can show a history of using the accommodations consistently.  People come out of the woodwork in high school and all of a sudden claim a disability so that they can get extended time on the SAT.  That is wrong and College Board and ACT are onto it and typically do not provide the accommodations to people who are newly diagnosed.[/quote]
