Who helps students with physical or learning disabilities?

Typically, individuals with medical or psychiatric conditions will be asked to provide documentation from a physician. Individuals with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder will be asked to provide a full psycho-educational test report.

Accommodations for eligible students include, but are not limited to: Testing Accommodations (e.g., extended exam time, testing readers and/or scribes), Reading Accommodations (e.g., books on tape, enlarged print), Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services (e.g., assistive learning devices, interpreting services), and Miscellaneous Services (e.g., priority registration, lab/library assistance). • Can I order a birthday cake to be delivered to my son or daughter?
