Testing accommodations, requested right and appealed when they're denied
We help students and professionals get the accommodations their disability requires on admissions and licensing exams, in every state. Our practice is led by an attorney with years of experience working with testing agencies.
What we do
First requests
We review your history and documentation before anything is filed, so the request matches what the testing agency looks for.
Documentation review
We identify what's missing or weak in evaluations, school records and support letters, and coordinate with your evaluator and school to fix it.
Appeals and reconsideration
When a request is denied or partly approved, we answer each stated reason with targeted evidence, on the agency's deadline.
How we work with you
- Free consultationWe talk through your exam, test date, history and documentation, and tell you honestly whether we think we can help.
- Documentation reviewWe compare your records to the agency's published criteria and list exactly what needs to be added or updated.
- Request or appealWe prepare the submission with you and coordinate with your school, program or evaluator.
- Through the decisionWe stay with you through the agency's decision and any appeal.
Why accommodations get denied
Most denials come down to documentation, not eligibility. Testing agencies want to see a current evaluation, a clear explanation of how the condition limits performance under standard testing conditions, and a history of using the accommodation. Licensing exams such as the bar exam and USMLE often apply a stricter standard than schools did, and approval on an earlier test does not guarantee approval on the next one.
Appeal windows can be short, and some agencies allow only one reconsideration for a given test date. That is why it helps to get the request right the first time, and to move quickly when it isn't.
Talk it through before you file
