Probably -- If your student is still in K-12, I would contact someone in special education at your school district. If in post-secondary, I would contact whatever department at the school that is responsible for accommodation services. I would try to work with these folks informally. It has been my experience that they will do their best to advocate on behalf of your student.

If that fails, you probably know that they U. S. Dept. of Education, Office of Civil Rights is responsible for enforcement of relevant laws. You can contact them at 1-800-421-3481 or use their on-line complaint form at http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/complaintintro.html .
