part of my confusion here is that I am in another conversation on this
very issue in an open source school list (K12OSN) and trying to get the
central testing facilities to accomodate both disabled children and open
source school software such as K12LTSP
unfortunately this answer was orginally to a question on that list but
accidently got cc'ed here. but that has worked out to get more information
to that list.
