[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this kid really can only work well with unlimited time, [b]the elite college you are hoping for is likely going to send your kid into a spiral of defeat and depression[/b]. The real world does not provide accommodations. [/quote]

Not necessarily true. I am a college professor that has taught at an elite school, SLAC and state school. In the last 10-15 years, [b]the number of students that require accommodations has significantly increased. Universities expect us to meet the students' needs to allow equal access to the course material/ability to succeed in the class.[/b]  In my experience, the kids do well and don't seem defeated or depressed.[/quote]

Yes, but how do they do once they are in the real world? Employers don’t hire or keep employees that can’t keep deadlines. [/quote]

The universities expect you to do this because they are[u] required to comply with the ADA.[/u] It isn't an act of benevolence and it isn't optional.

In the real world, people with disabilities will find jobs that fit their profile, and if they need accommodations at work the employer must provide them too.
