He did really well during state testing, scoring on the highest category on 3 of the 4 tests. That is in line with how he did last year. He also rocked his ACT in June. <br />I have discovered some new blogs during #dblogcheck as well. It has been such a great thing, and will take me days to sort through all the awesomeness!jcsamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006380105419669708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101664208627702894.post-26174268404635163002013-07-23T01:59:22.764-05:002013-07-23T01:59:22.764-05:00Just discovered your blog as part of the #dblogche...Just discovered your blog as part of the #dblogcheck. <br /><br />Not sure if you got information on this already or not, but you may want to consider a 504 Plan for Seth for state, district and ACT/SAT testing. This will allow him to have extra time to make insulin adjustments, treat a low (stress & nerves can bring those levels down fast). For the ACT/SAT testing the accommodations need to be requested at the time of registration for the test. Typically the School Psychologist (like me) or School Counselor will need verification of medical condition and how it impacts the student in the educational environment. The key is that whatever accommodations are in place for normal routine in school are available for those big assessments. I know many students with diabetes don't like being singled out during these assessments, but the reality is that BG can negatively impact test scores and why have that strike against someone before they even put pencil to paper when all he needs is time to check and treat during the test? <br /><br />If you need help with specifically what to ask, please email me or DM on Twitter @Click1st. :)<br /><br />Clickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928902291854618957noreply@blogger.com
