One of the accommodations that can be made in the school system is Stop Clock Testing which is on the list below. It was described to me as a way to allow the child to take the necessary breaks during testing even if the break is 1 hour for therapy or stretching or a day or a week long. If this is in the IEP or school plan then when it comes time for the SAT testing it will be more readily available to your child if needed.
