[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most likely the answer is no to support in AP/DE class simply due to lack of staffing.  [b]However, you will want to reach out to the person in charge of College Board accommodations so your student can apply for testing accommodations if needed.[/b][/quote]

17:07 again. Yes, that's crucial. The AP exam coordinator did the paperwork vis-a-vis the College Board. I assume they sent the same info that was on the IEP. He had double time on all College Board exams, and the ACT. One year the proctor for one of the AP history exams could not verify his typing accommodation and he refused to give it to him - my dysgraphic DS had to handwrite his answers, which was very stressful, but he still got a good score thanks to the extra time.

I would have sued. My kids dysgraphia and handwriting are so bad despite non stop writing work that it would have impacted them terribly even with extra time. [/quote]

I couldn't sue, because he got a 5: social science is his strongest subject, and his handwriting is large and unformed, so in the greater scheme of things, not too hard to decipher (it's not a doctor's scrawl). But I did pat myself on the back for forcing him to work on his block and cursive all these years. [/quote]

My child had the same issue on an AP exam. They offered to cancel the score and allow him to re-test in the makeup date but he declined. He similarly also received a five but it wasn’t a terribly difficult AP subject.[/quote]
