Extended time accommodation

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Hello!

I could use some help from those of you who are very familiar with IDEA regs. What exactly does extended time mean? We have a student whose IEP indicates extended time on tests as time and 1/2. Her mother is asking that we rewrite the IEP accommodation to read, “unlimited time on tests.” How can unlimited time be possible? This mother is insisting that we cite the IDEA regs as a basis for refusing this accommodation. I am referring to classroom tests only. Mom is aware that SAT accommodations are either 1.5x or 2x the amount of time allotted to those students without disabilities.
Thanks for your help.

E.
