[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents do not have to spend a dime for accommodations.

Public schools will test ANY student (public or private) for suspect disabilities (for free), or parents can seek a private evaluation and provide it to the school. In the event of diabetes, a doctor's letter and a 504 plan at school is sufficient.

The schools are the ones that have to jump through hoops. Only homeschooling parents are allowed to seek accommodations for school.

ACT and SAT do not accept requests directly from parents.

You make it sound like this can’t be game. But...wait...it can be. This isn’t debatable. Read the news. [/quote]

Never said it can't be gamed; clearly, it was with the help of PEOPLE WHO WERE BRIBED in the Singer scam or with the help of unscrupulous psychologists for others.

Was solely responding to a PP who said that parents 'shouldn't have to spend thousands' to get accommodations. My only point is that they do not; there are other ways. And as an aside, since 2017 (well after many of Singer's clients got admitted to colleges) both ACT and SAT changed their process and no longer allow parents to petition directly, and requiring schools to affirm that accommodations are used by the student every day.

Clearly, that doesn't close every loophole, but it helps a little.
