[quote=Anonymous]I think one of the solutions to this (in an effort to avoid ruining it for kids who legitimately need accommodations) is to require ACT and College Board scrutinize any requests for accommodations where there is no history of accommodations prior to middle school. I think many of those who are gaming the system do so when they get closer to high school or while in high school. Any kid who was diagnosed in elementary school and has been using accommodations all along is going to most likely be legitimately "disabled," whereas the kid who applies as a freshman or sophomore in high school is more suspect. Those applications should just go through a more rigorous review and be scrutinized and rejections for accommodations should happen more than not.[/quote]
