I had totally missed one point.  By giving them accommodations, you also
took away some learning opportunities.  According to the law this is not
giving them accommodations, and is illegal.  You are not allowed to make
them miss important class time to get accommodations.  If this is
challenged, and there is a law suit, it might be lost.

The extra time must indeed be extra.  You are not required to be present to
proctor the exam, or quiz.  That can be done by the learning support people.
The alternative would be to go over the quiz the next class period, and then
give extra time separately.
