[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Part of timed tests is the ability to perform under pressure and time constraints. When those constraints evaporate, all students would be expected to perform better.[/quote]

[quote]You're simply wrong and that may be because you don't understand what a language-based LD is. If a child has an LD such as dyslexia, she's using that extra time to read because her brain is wired differently than that of most people. It has nothing to do with not being able to "think and articulate quickly." [/quote]

Actually, 2nd PP, while I do have  good grasp of dyslexia as any lay person, 1st PP is right.   At some point in life, the accommodations really do end, even under the ADA regs.  The loop hole is "bona fide job requirement."   IME it behooves the dyslexic teen to figure out, far ahead of that point, what kind of career he wants as an adult that will on the one hand, play to his very keen mind but on the other, minimize voluminous reading.  See, for example, master litigator David Boies.

I still don't think you get it but I guess you don't have to, since you presumably don't have a kid with an LD. [/quote]
