[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But all of the OMG people are gaming the system because it's so easy hysteria is pretty laughable. Going through the IEP process (which you need in order to get testing accommodations) is far from easy. It is also still regarded as shameful by many to be atypical so frequently kids who really need the accommodations refuse to take them. This is a huge problem and the attitudes on display here are the root of it. Someone with a disability has just as much right to pursue the career of their choice as a typical. They will have to work harder than their typical peers but for most that is hardly a new thing. [/quote] I agree that it's extremely unlikely that there is a lot of gaming the IEP system. Parents actually do not want their child "labeled" incorrectly, and it is also hard to meet the legal standard for an IEP. But the college "disabilities" are not that rigorous to show. [/quote]
