At community college, anyone receiving accomodations such as scribing, having tests read to them, or using alternate input devices, receives time and a half on quizzes, exams, etc. So, if DS13 takes a quiz in the DSPS office with a scribe and the rest of the class is allowed 30 minutes for the quiz, then he is allowed 45 minutes.
Also, DS13 is not proficient enough at keyboarding to accomdate himself yet. Therefore, he receives notes from other students and uses a scribe for exams rather than a computer. Eventually, he will need to increase his keyboard speed so he can accomplish most of these things on his own. It is funny that in K-12 they discourage using computers to take notes in the classroom, but in college you see a lot of that. One of DS13's scribes in Cultural Anthropology used to take notes on her laptop in class and then e-mail them to him immediately after class. They were the most comprehensive notes he has received.
