[quote=Anonymous]Herein lies the rub. Some students have genuine learning disabilities which actually require special testing accommodations in school, while other students feign or purport to have a learning disability to obtain special testing accommodations in school. And often you cannot distinguish one from the other. My brother is a psychiatrist specializing in child counseling. Without delving into specifics, he has told me that he increasingly encounters "helicopter" parents who subtly try to pressure him into making a learning disabilities diagnosis for their children who are taking all AP classes. He suspects this is for the purpose of special testing accommodations.[/quote]
