However, I know some kids who truly need the accommodation (for valid physical reasons), and I have no issue with that.

Just to clarify, two students with comparable medical reasons are each entitled to appropriate accommodations, even if one is already scoring above the 90th percentile, correct?

I first read your post as indicating the opposite for the already high-scoring student -- that he should not be eligible for accommodation if already scoring 2000+ on SAT, for example.
