[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DS moved from private school to MCPS HS, they refused his extended time. We had years and years of documentation but he was a straight A student. We were told they would make it an informal accommodation meaning he could ask for it and it would be granted and they would monitor how it goes. It seemed sketchy and we knew an informal accommodation had not legal teeth. DS was very stressed. I was prepared to hire an attorney but in the interim I instructed him to ask for extra time (using the so called informal accommodation) every time he had a test or quiz.  The teachers were fortunately kind and always allowed it but they could have refused so it was dangerous territory. By the end of the quarter, his extra time was restored. The school staff were unanimous in supporting him. The harder part was that when he applied for CB accommodations, he was denied based on that brief period of time. We had to appeal and appeal and redo all testing. [/quote]

Yeah, this is why informal accommodation aren't ok. You need the official accommodations to help on SATS, APs, college, etc.[/quote]
