    Supporting Student Accommodation Requests for Boards, Bar Exams, Licensing, Entrance Exams, and Other High Stakes Gateway Tests

    • Overview
    • Resources & Recording Links

    Thank you

    Although students may already receive accommodations in the educational environment, they frequently must apply separately for accommodations from third party testing agencies. These exams may make or break a student’s academic and professional career, so ensuring they have appropriate accommodations is essential, but how can we prepare students to submit their best application and support them through the process? This webinar will be presented by two practitioners with extensive experience supporting students in fields including law, education, social work, medicine, and other health science programs (OT, PT, PA, Nursing, etc.). The session will provide an overview of the application process, how applications are typically reviewed by testing entities, what data students should submit to support their requests, and how to handle appeals if the request is denied. Plenty of time will be reserved for Q&A.
