Learning Disability Accommodations

Got an IEP? Don't forget to take it to college.

High school students experiencing academic challenges who are fortunate enough to have gotten testing and evaluation services in k-12 to identify a learning disability usually receive an IEP or individual educational plan.  The IEP identifies the learning issue and specifies classroom and testing accommodations designed to help the student realize his academic potential.

The IEP can be hard to get.  Some school systems resist evaluating a student for a host of reasons to include extra cost to schools and increasingly limited staffing to provide any special services.
