[quote=Anonymous]Schools aren't bringing learning issues to parents' attention (and teachers are often prohibited from saying anything) unless the kid is a real outlier. My son had struggled since preschool but school could do nothing for him without a private diagnosis because his test scores are good. When I was in school, kids would just learn to adapt. There's a lot to be said for adapting, but the struggle to complete work and hatred of school was making our lives miserable. (inattentive ADHD, 2e kid). Though my son doesn't need extra time on tests, his school automatically put it into his IEP. We were advised to keep it in in case it becomes a problem. I am going to bet a lot of kids who have access to extra time don't need it and won't use, but it's a standard accommodation. I am fully aware that if we didn't have the financial means, my son would be muddling through. It is heartbreaking for the kids who don't have access to these supports. [/quote]
