[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 427675, member: 11791"] In fact, some accomodations are definitely allowed in college - including untimed tests, taking tests in alternate environment (goes with untimed...), note-taking services, etc. - i.e. non-behavior accomodations. I've even heard of allowances for time required to hand in assignments (not sure how that works at the college level, or whether that is fair). So, if the student needs these services in school, teach them how to use them well because they will be able use these same services going forward. Behavior accomodations are harder to get as you get older, and definitely don't exist in the work-place. And these are a catch-22 situation... yes, they need to learn self-control, etc. - but when the are not learning these skills the way most kids pick them up, do we leave them to "sink or swim" or do we find a different way to teach the skills? Its a tough situation, both at school and at home. [/QUOTE]
