Just wanted to update anyone who was interested on the outcome of the College Board decision. They approved a keyboard on the writing section (who hoo!!) and also 100% extended time on writing and math, small group testing, large block answer sheet (no bubbles) and extra breaks.
On the down side, they say we don't have enough recent documentation of his visual disabilities for him to get a 14 pt testing booklet, and they denied 200% extended time on the math section. I don't think they are thinking clearly about how much writing goes into doing math at this level. Using a calculator doesn't do anything for helping you write out equations, and it is his writing that is really the bottleneck.
I hope it will be enough for him to get by. We'll keep working on getting better documentation of his visual processing deficits, but for this year, this is going to be as good as it gets - deadline to register for the last test of the year is next week.
