Giving time versus a dead line

Students with learning disabilities need more time to complete assignments or tests while it does work in the classroom to a point. In most real world applications almost every job had some sort of dead line. If a student gets to used to getting extra time in the classroom I feel that would be a disadvantage if they get a job and the employer is less understanding of that persons disability. I think a possible solution for this is to gradually decrease the extra allotted time through out the course. for example. If a program has 6 projects you give the student and additional 6 hours on the first project. on the second project 5 hours and so on. You are giving the student extra time needed but gradually challenging and teaching them better time management skills while applying real world stress of dead lines
