I'll throw in that along with Polarbear's awesome advice, we also have an accommodation for "cloze notes" where the teacher can provide notes with some key words missing. DS has to fill in the missing words. This was to appease some worry that if he wasn't taking notes, he didn't have to pay attention. DS likes it because it's like a mad libs game for him!
We also have an accommodation that math will always be done on graph paper, if it's in class. He can also use a white board for any scratch paper where he doesn't have to turn it in. My son has Developmental Coordination Disorder with dysgraphia as a side-effect. The fat pen, combined with the light pressure on the white board works really well- especially for any sort of testing environment.
