Autism doesn't mean she needs help in math. Is there any diagnosis that shows she needs help with math? It's not against Ada if she isn't diagnosed and they don't have to give her an a because it makes her feel bad if she doesn't get an a. It's reasonable accommodations not just a free pass.Kookookrazy wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 11:17 amIt violates the ADA. It says right on the ada website that past academic success does not negate the need for lawful accommodations. Dd was in remedial math the past 2 years so she is very behind. In NYC she was not in remedial math courses she was in general education and she was passing but she also had a personal para who was helping her in the school when we moved to vegas they just placed her in remedial math even when i told them not to.Dd told me it was baby math and they just didnt bother to accomodate her so she missed 2 years of highschool algebra.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 11:32 pm Sorry but no that's not discrimination. Autism isn't a free pass to bypass whatever she's struggling with. She has proven she can handle college level courses she's going to be expected to take them. It doesn't seem like she struggled with high school math according to her iep so why would they need to accommodate her?
Does her school offer tutoring? Ds college has free tutoring for struggling students.
Also she should be handling this herself. You can guide her and show her where the documents are but she should be the one dealing with the college. You are setting her up for failure by expecting her to go directly from mommy doing everything to living on campus alone.
I have an autistic kid and perfectionism and the pressure he puts on himself is something we've had to work hard to overcome. You just want everyone to bend the rules so your adult child never feels bad.
If she needs accommodations she needs to get the proper testing and documentation to get it. And you need to get out of it. You can help her figure out the steps but she needs to take them.
