WOW! Thank you, Dfrecore! That's a significant amount of valuable information!
She has an IEP with extended test time and many other accommodations. The problem isn't so much the time allowed. When she sees a test, she just freezes. Actually, she becomes incapacitated just thinking about it. The 1000s of words she has stored in her memory become unavailable as well as any data she may have learned. She has difficulty retaining new information and she cannot decode words. If she does not have the word memorized, it slows her so much, she forgets what she read prior to the words she cannot decode.

They are supposed to accommodate an IEP when testing. Our charter school said that they would accommodate my daughter, and she doesn't even have an IEP.
