[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What concerns me from a related article is the statement that wealthier students are more likely to receive accommodations than poor students. What happens when these kids graduate college? Is an employer going to give a person who takes twice as long to do something the same salary as someone who meets deadlines?[/quote] No, but people with disabilities are often able to sort themselves into careers and positions where they are capable of succeeding with fewer accommodations. My older DD has anxiety and ADHD. She’s a rockstar in her position at a media outlet and has been rapidly promoted twice. She’s able to set her schedule so her symptoms don’t get in the way. She couldn’t always do that with hundred-level freshman courses and senior seminars. Also, the brain is still developing at 18-22. My DD’s meds worked better at 23 than 18. It wasn’t a compliance issue. Her brain chemistry settled down after puberty.[/quote]
