  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!)
I would check their IEP. Also, I would respect the student's wishes and make sure the class understands that each of their peers needs are different in order to be successful.
