[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel for this kid. She’s dealing with chronic LDs and a now a chronic immuno condition and one of the (trusted ?) adults in her life treated her with so little compassion.

[/quote]Don’t coddle DC. There was a whole quarter to talk about accommodations, if it is warranted.  Do not wait until the final day of school to complain that DC earned an F. [/quote]

This is an inappropriate response.  DC had a disabling health condition.  Mom applied for accommodations and has been put off past the end of the semester.  This is illegal.  Under ADA, some accommodations -- for extended work, maybe taking an incomplete, etc. should have been offered ASAP.

Accommodating disabilities isn't "coddling".  The timing is irrelevant.  Students often try to manage their issues and don't ask for help until it is overwhelming.   To some extent the law and school admin encourages it -- if you ask too soon, then the disability isn't "significant" and you are denied.

PP, your view is reflective of disability discrimination.  [/quote]
