My child is twice-exceptional (gifted with a learning disability). Can he/she take the SAT/ACT/EXPLORE test with accommodations?
Probably! The College Board, ACT, and ETS (a.k.a. the test companies) make the decision on whether or not students are granted accommodations. A special request form must be completed and submitted to the test company prior to the regular registration deadline for the chosen test date. Most often, students are granted the same accommodations they receive at school as stated in their IEP or 504 plan. Copies of these plans are critical for determination.
