[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of 5 year olds should be silent (at least non-judgy) observers. [/quote]

I asked questions that I find very relevant given that I have a young child who requires accommodations and who I hope to help grow into somebody whcan stand up for himself. Instead of answering my questions, you insult me. This says a lot about you, but I really hope that you are helping your son to learn how to look after himself. My SIL sheltered the hell out of my nephew with a genetic condition and he went to college completely unprepared. Don't do the same thing.[/quote]

NP. In almost every school students with IEPs are part of the MDT meetings and discussions by high school. My son started attending and participating in 4th grade and still does). Older students have a lot of say and in a practical, real sense work out the implementation of accommodations with each different teacher starting in middle school every day.

But the College Board requires accommodation requests to come from a school official or a parent if the child is under 18 - probably because it involves providing them with medical information. The student is involved in the decision of what to ask for via the IEP. No one is gets more accommodations for the SAT, ACT or AP exams then they get in school. The challenge is convincing the College Board that those accommodations are needed for those exams as well. [/quote]
