[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't end in high school, folks. Every university that I have attended or worked at has an “Office of Disabilty Services.” A huge part of what they do is providing those types of allowances. But it gets worse. At every school I’ve been associated with, there is NO requirement for the student to provide any substantiation for their supposed “condition.” No doctor report, nothing. All it takes is a five minute interview at that office, and the kid gets extended or unlimited time, calculator and notes when none are allowed for the rest of the class, etc. As the faculty member, I receive a notice of what the students “accomodaton” is from that office, and I have to comply - I have no say in the matter.

The whole thing’s a racket, and it is well known among the students.   My biggest surprise is that more students don’t take advantage of it.[/quote]

We are navigating this with my kid and you are full of crap. You need a full neuropsych evaluation that is less than three years old to even start the process of college accommodations. [/quote]

Yep. This.[/quote]
