Hi everyone! I have a sixth grader who is ADD and dyslexic and he's been struggling so hard with math this year. Part of it is that he doesn't want to "feel different" so he doesn't USE his 504 accommodations. He got to a point where he was failing every single math test and getting so frustrated he wanted to give up. His teacher suggested he use an accommodation during the test that he had never tried. He went across the hall with some other kids and had someone read the test orally while he also had it in front of him. He was SO EXCITED to text me later that he got a B+! It was like the stars aligned for him and he realized accommodations can WORK. I just had to share the success here because other people just don't get it- how exciting it is when your child passes after trying so hard. I hope it's not a fluke and that it will work this well for every test. Thanks for letting me share.
