Does peer pressure keep your child from using their accommodations? We are just setting up the 504 for my DS (meeting this afternoon) and I realized that one of the reasons my son is dragging his feet about some of these accommodations are social. He is in High School and he has been working hard on having a social life. His peers and what they think are very important to him. (Much of the pressure to perform at this H.S. is comes from the other students.) We are in a high performing school and many of his friends are the top achievers. It's embarrassing to have to go to another room to take an exam, or miss lunch because you get "extra" time.
Anyone else in that situation?
