Accomodations for Disabilities- Ever Hear of the ADA?

<p>If you think this is crazy you should hear my D’s story. Diagnosed with fine motor incoordination at age 10. Received accommodations through senior year of high school as well as on the SAT and ACT.</p>

<p>Goes to college. College hires “outside consultants” to evaluate documentation. Consultants paid by the university are split - one says she is disabled; another says she is not. College says our consultant says she is not disabled - therefore no accommodations!</p>

<p>Consultants never re evaluated or met with D in person. Looked only at the documentation submitted.</p>

<p>OCR says this is legal - since the college hired consultants to evaluate the documentation and one of them concluded she was not disabled and therefore not qualified for accommodations.</p>
