Securing accommodations
Grades 7 -12:
Your school has someone who should be taking care of this with you. Sometimes a second opinion from someone who is advocating solely for YOU can help. I've sat in on IEP meetings as a consultant in order to secure the services my client needed.
College:
You have the right to secure certain accommodations, but the burden is now on you to take the necessary steps. I can walk you through that process and provide some suggestions for your course load for the first year or two.
