Special Accommodations Forms
Forms for requesting special accommodations are below. The following
MUST be done or the forms will be returned to senders:
1. It is critical that all aspects of the GED testing accommodations forms be completed and that all processes are followed exactly as outlined in the forms and in the support material. Incomplete forms and inappropriate content or diagnosticians will cause the form to be returned to the sender.
For your convenience, a very brief summary is offered as a general guide to helping you complete the forms. Download GED Testing Accommodations Summary - PDF.
Also, from below, please study the “Guidance to Completing Forms” BEFORE completing any form to request accommodations.
2. Please be sure that a truly LICENSED DIAGNOSTICIAN conducts
the assessment.
3. Please COMPLETE the correct form -- do not send attachments
unless the correct form is completely filled out. Most forms also require
a letter -- on the diagnostician's letterhead -- to accompany
the request form.
4. Please be sure the diagnosis of the examinee is no older than
the following:
. . . . . six months for Emotional and Mental Health (EMH) disabilities,
. . . . . three years for AD/HD conditions,
. . . . . five years for Learning and Other Cognitive disabilities (LD)
. . . . . current status for Physical/Chronic Health (PCH) disabilities.
Older documentation will be considered if that is all that the candidate
can provide without undue burden or expense. Such special accommodation
requests could take up to 8 weeks to process
Documentation and assessment tests must include a CLEAR diagnosis and
provide information on current functional limitations that might
affect the examinee's ability to take the tests under standard (normal)
conditions, so that the rationale for the requested accommodations can
be properly evaluated.
The licensed diagnostician's report must include certification or licensure
-- and expiry date.
