One accommodation we used was that our son wasn't required to write multiple sentences. That way, he used the scribe only for testing and just did reduced output on class work. It worked well and was less disruptive to him. At home, he dictated to me for homework.
He is in 7th grade this year, and his ability to produce more written work without becoming exhausted is much better than even a year ago. In fact, he requested that he not use a reader on state testing and use a scribe only on essay questions. The coordinator called to make sure I was ok with the changes. And since the school is the one who stands to lose if he does worse on the SBA testing without more accommodations, I am impressed that their stance is that it is more important to respect my son's request than to pad their chances.
Way to stick to your guns! Hang in there.
