[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exposing accommodations to colleges should never happen. At least I am glad it hasn't happened yet because both my kids benefitted from it, but they both have severe ADHD. Sharing a student has accommodations puts them at a deep disadvantage....maybe even more of a disadvantage than getting a lower score without accommodations. FWIW my oldest got extra time on the ACT, got a very good score, and was admitted to a T20 and did very well. Not a superstar, but gainfully employed now making 6 figures.

Those of you who are pissed off about it...keep steaming lol. It's not changing any time soon.[/quote]
My kid was diagnosed with a reading disability at 16.  We had no idea.  I was one of those parents who thought extra time for disabilities was a scam.. until DC's diagnosis.   The extra time has helped DC with their reading  even as they still scored higher on the math section.

I would rather DC not need the extra time and not have the disability than have it.  We spent $$$ on their therapy which wasn't covered by our insurance, and years pushing DC to get better grades and scores.  I feel awful about that.[/quote]
