[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make your kids use the time. They probably won't want to because it makes them 'different' than others. But when it comes to high school and you are trying to get accommodations from the College Board for PSATs, APs, SATs -- a 504 or IEP, or even documented slow processing speed or ADHD isn't enough. They ask for evidence that the kid uses the accommodations regularly and on all sorts of tests. Not to say you can 't get it without it, but it will be easier if there is a record of DC utilizing the time accommodations and, even better, some examples of grade impact when they DON"T use it. [/quote] Yes, this is it. I have a child with a 504 who gets extra time although she doesn't always need to use it. I'm working hard to make sure the school doesn't eliminate it from her 504 because I forsee she'll want the extra time for the SATs and perhaps in college. [/quote]
