Testing accommodations level the field for students whose disability affects how they take a test, not what they know: additional time, breaks, questions and directions read and reread, a calculator, a scribe, or a quiet room. Schools, the College Board, ACT and graduate and licensing boards each require current documentation, which means a comprehensive evaluation that names the diagnosis, shows how it affects test performance and explains why each accommodation is needed. Many families come to us when a request has been denied or when the paperwork from an earlier evaluation is out of date.
