In an earlier post I mentioned the need for testing to get accommodations for LD's for thehigh stake tests.
I just met with my school system evaluator and asked him about who to contact in the school system for more info. He advised me that the best source of information is the College Board web site, and check it frequently because the info often changes each year. He also warned me that it's tough to get even with an IEP or 504 (need accommodations only, such as large print text).He has no idea about what succss home schoolers have in getting help.
However the accommodations the College Boards are wide, including private rooms for ADHD students, extra time, a dictator and to a simple highlighter.
Here's the college Board site: http://www.collegeboard.com/ssd/student/index.html
