[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dyslexic DS is in rigorous independent school, but the teachers are willing to make accommodations. One teacher claims that DS was given the “extra time” accommodation because even though the entire class was given 80 minutes to complete the test, it was designed to take only 50 minutes. This “universal accommodation” is common and meets the needs of the LD students, claims the teacher. Agree? [/quote] If it’s something given to everyone, then it’s not an accommodation. [/quote] It doesn't harm the dyslexic student to give the accommodation to other students as well as the dyslexic one. It doesn't somehow "un-accommodate" it, either.[/quote]
