Because there are many people working together, they can discuss and compromise on what they think is best. Most importantly though, they should talk to the disabled student. This gives the student practice in self-advocacy and allows them to control certain aspects of their education. Having the support of an IEP team can also help the student’s mental health because they can be reassured that they have support with whatever they might need.
For example, I have a processing delay of about 7 seconds due to my cerebral palsy. If a test takes somebody else an hour and a half, it would take me roughly 2-2.5 hours to do the same. I had to have extra time as an IEP accommodation so that instructors would know to give me more time on certain tasks like tests.
