Standardized Testing Accommodations
The biggest mistake people make in seeking extended time or other accommodations for learning differences is waiting until the last minute to do so. Not only can the process be difficult and involve many steps, but the testing agencies often require months (even years) of documentation of a student’s disabilities and challenges. It is therefore imperative that you get informed and organized as soon as possible. Among the items you’ll need are documentation of diagnoses, recommended treatments, and progress from a medical professional, as well as proof that the student has been given special accommodations by his/her high school.
