[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 394482, member: 805"] MWM, question, how does the adhd affect her so that she can't do tests without notes? Is she not able to do memorization? Are her thoughts too disorganized? Having notes during a test is not something I am familiar with. Why is there an issue with note cards vs paper? Is it that they don't want her to have everything but just enough? I would think that index cards may, in the long run, be helpful because she would have to copy her notes to the cards which would in turn make her see the information an additional time which may, in the long run, begin to help her learn a new way to study. Just a thought...... Do you think they are having an issue with the whole concept of notes? Are they stuck on the "cheating" aspect of her having her notes? If she has her notes with her what is the chance that she will pass with A's all her tests but that not be a real indication of "what she knows"? Thinking out loud here........ I know our kids need to very often be assessed in a different manner. When difficult child was in elementary school he struggled with writing so much more than he does now. The teachers would often give him oral assessments rather than written ones. But, as we all know, their accommodations and modifications are only as good as the administrators and teachers who follow the plan. Hope this gets resolved soon. Sharon [/QUOTE]
