Testing and Educational Accommodations

IHL has been advising students on testing and educational accommodation requests since 2004. IHL Founder and Managing Partner Mayssoun Bydon leads our team of expert consultants and has helped hundreds of students receive the accommodations necessary to perform to their full potential on standardized and entrance exams, as well as in their high school, college, and graduate studies. We have the knowledge and expertise to get you the accommodations that you are legally entitled to receive.

I knew that to be the best, I had to learn from the best. IHL gave me the confidence and content I needed to succeed at the next level.

100%

Most of our students are approved for 100% additional testing time on entrance exams. Extra time is the most commonly approved accommodation.


No?

Don’t take no for an answer! We have had great success in appealing accommodation denials from schools and testing agencies.

67%

According to the U.S. GOA, 67% of accommodations requested by test takers were for learning disabilities (such as dyslexia) or for ADHD.

1.1m

During 2019 and 2020, about 1.1 million individuals with disabilities tested with accommodations out of about 21.1 million test takers.

Meeting Your Needs

We work with students of all different backgrounds and abilities. We have assisted students seeking accommodations for a variety of reasons, from medical conditions to learning disabilities to psychological/psychiatric disorders. We are well-versed in the accommodations process and know exactly what testing agencies and schools require to grant accommodations. Our ultimate goal is to get you the accommodations that you need and to which you are legally entitled in order to put you on a level playing field with your peers, whether on a test or in the classroom.

Gathering Documentation

If you are interested in requesting accommodations, you will need to compile the required documentation. This might include medical testing and documentation from a health care provider, proof of past accommodations in school or on other exams, official transcripts and/or score reports, and other information. Our consultants will assist you in compiling all necessary documentation and can even help you obtain psycho-educational evaluations if needed.

Understand Your Options

Schools and testing agencies are equipped to offer a variety of accommodations to meet your individual needs. Our consultants are well-versed in the options available to students seeking accommodations. These can range from additional testing time and distraction-free testing rooms to notetaking services and extended assignment deadlines, among others.
