[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the child is middle or high school maybe instead the accommodation is that there's no grade penalty if homework isn't fully completed? That way if they need to do only 5 problems instead of 20, the teacher can evaluate based on those 5.  Same with flashcards for foreign language class or something like that.

You do still run into the problem of your child not getting the reinforcement that extra practice brings but can ease up on the anxiety of not being able to complete everything because it takes them longer as a result of their disability.[/quote]

This might work for math, but I don't see how it could work for a social studies of English class. Should the kid just read half the book or write half the essay? I think in HS, it is not a reasonable accommodation. [/quote]

Math requires pratice and repetition.  Just doing a few problems isn't going to help a child whose struggling.[/quote]
That's your kid. My kid with dyscalculia has reduced problems and still managed a 5 on the AB Calc AP test, albeit with extended time.

And its corollary: what doesn't work for my kid doesn't work for anyone's kid![/i]

The "I" in IEP stands for "individualized". Not "one size fits all".[/quote]
