Being Fair with Time

Viviana,
You SHOULDN'T be giving everyone extra time. In doing so, you not only defeat the purpose of the accommodation, but you create legal problems for yourself and for the institution should the student choose to challenge that decision. The extra time is calculated on the basis of how much time everyone else is given. If you give everyone 60 minutes, then the student with the disability may get (for example) 90 minutes. and if you give EVERYONE 90 minutes (in the mistaken belief that it makes things even), then the student with the disability should get 135 minutes.
