  Case: ADHD
A student approaches you and tells you that he has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). He can't take the test within the time allotted, can't turn in assignments on time, or can't take notes, etc. He is requesting special consideration. Other students in the class overhear your conversation and start to whisper among themselves. What do you do as a teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In this situation, I would check for an IEP or 504 Plan. If I was unable to find evidence of special education services, would directly contact the parents. I would explain the policies and procedures of the school district regarding special education accommodations. If needed, I would begin the paperwork process.

Comments: It’s a good solution because it is important to establish that the student in question is in fact and such a situation that he is allowed to have special considerations. Only after your student status is confirmed with the family and administration with the paperwork all in order) can the teacher/student/parents establish an appropriate course of action from there on.
