• Applying for Accommodations on National Tests

    For high school students with assessment accommodations on their IEPs, it is important that you apply for accommodations on National Tests such as the ACT, SAT, and AP Exams.   While a student may have testing accommodations in their classrooms at school, it does not guarantee that they will receive them for these tests.  Each national organization determines whether or not specific accommodations can be used on their tests.

    For more information, contact your child’s special education teacher or guidance counselor.  You may also find the following websites helpful:
