[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do people do to increase processing speed?[/quote]

As far as I can tell, nothing except accommodate and teach them to advocate.[/quote]

I was told we can't get accommodations unless it affects her academics and because she does well NOW, no accommodations. It's frustrating. She does well because school is easy and well is relative. She bombs timed tests. Comes in around 70% when she knows the stuff and should be getting 90% and up. I was basically told unless she's failing, no 504. Does that sound right???[/quote]

Depending on her scores, I think you could easily argue for a 504 for extended testing time. A limit to the number of homework problems required to demonstrate proficiency. Breaks. I'm not sure you'll get an IEP now. It obviously is affecting her academics if she's losing points on timed tests. [b]We ultimately left the public schools.[/b] The basic message was my child will fail in middle school and then she'd qualify. I didn't want to wait around for that to happen. Save all of those bombed timed tests as evidence and ask for another meeting.[/quote]

I'm so jealous. We're in the weird spot where we can't really afford private school but we don't qualify for financial aid. I'm glad you were able to make that choice and thank you for your advice. [/quote]
