[quote=Anonymous]NP with another perspective on the "extended time accommodation" argument:

In school I had extended time (time and a half on most written exams; double time in math the year I took geometry).

I had the extended time because I have a physical disability (cerebral palsy) that means I have a hard time making intentional coordinated muscle movements. So basically it was both harder and slower for me to write by hand or color in tiny answer bubbles compared to a typical student for the grade. Extended time didn't really give me more time than other students to think or compose an answer per question because I spent the "extra" time fighting against the limitations of my brain and muscles.

In my job almost everything can be done on the computer and that removes most of the difficulties that made things take so long for me in school, especially when I can add adaptive technology.

Plenty of kids need time related accommodations to remove a barrier in school who might find fewer barriers in different environments in their future.[/quote]
