[quote=Anonymous]^ just re-reading OP’s original post - if the problem is not the extra time per se but that the app is doing a diagnostic which produces a result that he never gets above low level math fact acquisition, then the “ask” to the teacher might be different - maybe extra time would help him demonstrate the skill at a level that gets him placed above math fact acquisition or maybe he gets to use a calculator to do the math facts, which allows him to be placed higher, or maybe the teacher can manually place him at a higher skill level.

All schools are now moving toward this kind of teaching and placement by AI and the problem is that if the placement algorithm doesn’t account for typical disabilities, then the classroom use is kind of “garbage in, garbage out” and the disabled student is losing access to classroom instruction. I see this with the increased use of Desmos and Kahn Academy.  If you can’t hear well enough to follow the video, you’re going to need some accommodation - a video transcript to read, headphones, extra time or whatever.  It’s the teacher and the teams job to figure out what an effective accommodation is. In some instances that could be excusal from an activity or provision of an alternate activity. [/quote]
