@shawbridge This is truly an intelligent, insightful answer that I have found almost only comes with seeing learning differences coupled with strengths first hand. I cringe when people mock poor spelling, because it’s often a fluke of a very intelligent mind. Accommodations such as extra time are akin to ‘letting’ students wear glasses for the test. If a person has not known someone with a true need for the extra time, it does seem to be ‘unfair,’ but that attitude is actually born of ignorance and inexperience. Thanks for taking the time to respond so thoughtfully.
