Not a bad idea to know that this IS an area that needs remediation/supports, though.
I just think that (like the others) it may be wiser to intentionally make any accommodation one that fosters eventual fading of the accommodation.
Those are trickier to word and implement, but focusing on goals and keeping things measurable in terms of PROGRESS toward better awareness/recognition and self-advocacy should be something to aim for each year. KWIM?
Such a thing might involve, at younger ages, having a proctor who knows to specifically ASK whether or not your DS has heard and completely understood directions.... whether he has any questions about what to do, etc.
Prompts and opportunities for self-advocacy are a good IEP goal in a lot of cases.
