[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds to me as though a poster or two may not believe in the science behind the neuro-psychological testing recommended by board-certified doctors.

This compounds the problem of determining who is deserving of the accommodations and who does not.

My DC was encouraged to drop an AP course in a room full of administrators while looking at a form filled out by the teacher claiming DC didn't need or use any accommodations approved by the same school. The withdrawl of a yearlong course in the middle of April is on DC's transcrip. Teacher refused to provide ANY accommodationst. (Gritting my teeth).[/quote]

So sorry pp. You should have filed a complaint against the school with your state dept of ed or with the eeoc. Schools cannot deny students access to higher level courses based on the iep. If you student needs support in a subject area, your kid, by law, gets that support in an AP or honors course. They can not pull this. Many parents don't know this. The doe has a letter posted from many years ago addressing this because so many schools deny kids with sns access to advanced classes. The teacher can not refuse to provide accommodations. This is easy to fight. I know. I have a kid with accommodations in AP classes. [/quote]
