I just found out that everyone in Odin's class will be administered the PSAT at the end of October. At 7:30 in the morning! -- which is a really bad time of day for him because he tends to stay up all night, even on the odd occasions when he doesn't want to.
My meeting with the school to discuss accommodations in light of Odin's recent ADHD diagnosis isn't until next week, and of course that's just the beginning of the process to get a 504 plan or IEP. Has anyone here gotten an accommodation for the PSAT, and how did that work? I'm thinking I don't have enough lead time, as the College Board(?) won't give an accommodation if the school hasn't yet done so. But Odin's neuropsychologist said he would benefit from extra time on standardized tests because his deficit is in the area of processing speed, so I feel like I ought to be giving this a shot.
