[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot remember colleges but in an IEP related thread a while ago, some posters named colleges that gave certain kids advanced access to schedule courses. [b]One parent said was because their kid didn’t do well with classes at particular times [/b]or something like that and schools gave priority scheduling accommodation. Maybe ask schools about that [/quote]

Hmmm, lemme guess what time of day…[/quote]

I'm a NP, whose kid has that accommodation. She is a morning person -- perfectly happy with 8:30 classes but really struggles after 4. She's usually in bed by 9.

Is that the answer you expected? Do you know anything about disability?[/quote]

How are they going to function in a job? Or in college when the class they need or want to take is after 4? There are tools they can learn that help with these types of issues. Accommodations are rarely the answer for students who struggle at certain times of the day, except in cases where the disability is so significant that holding a regular job and independent living is not going to be an option for the young person. [/quote]

She will likely never be able to work the evening shift, and that's ok. She also may not be able to hold a full time job -- we'll see how her disability progresses. It's a progressive neurological disorder, so we don't take anything for granted.[/quote]
