[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not overaccommodation. In the real world, we can pick where we eat. I’m personally hearing impaired and can’t stand loud environments which make conversations difficult. Not to mention the din of background noise is amplified. I know NT introverts who also prefer quiet lunches. In MS, many kids choose to spend lunch in a quiet classroom and no formal accommodations are needed. I know lots of kids who chose the classroom option. At our HS, the kids can also choose where inside or outside to eat lunch. I suspect this is a staffing issue. If my child had a disability, I’d fight for the accommodation. If the school claims to want to address the root cause of needing the accommodation, they should create lunch bunch groups. Our ES had those with the school counselor.  [/quote]

In the real world of elementary school, kids actually can’t pick where they eat. [/quote]

That’s true, but only goes so far.  By MS, most schools allow kids to choose to eat out the cafeteria, so time alone will solve the “problem” completely.[/quote]
