[blindlaw] LSAT Accommodations

[AZNOR99 at aol.com]

Joe,
 
I had that problem as well.  I had my eye doctor write a letter that  my 
vision hadn't changed since birth and would not change.  I also had my  
college DSS Office write a letter indicating that they determined which  
accommodations I'd receive based on previous IEPs but that those IEPs were no  longer 
available.  Finally, I had my Vocational Rehab Counselor write a  letter 
explaining which accommodations I needed and why along with my IPE.   And then 
I wrote a cover letter explaining that my disability was not  
psychological, it was sensory, and that that was all the information they were  going to 
get.  I actually got an apology letter from the LSAT people  afterwards 
explaining that they have to be thorough for learning and cognitive  
disabilities, which sometimes do change year to year.
 
If there's a phone number, I suggest you call them and explain that you  
can't supply IEPs, etc., and that blindness accommodations for you haven't  
changed.
 
Good luck.
Ronza

Hello,

I'm scheduled to take the LSAT in December and am  currently going through
the accommodations request process.  A day  after submitting my request I
received a letter saying a preliminary review  of my packet rendered my
request incomplete because I did not  include:

1. copies of past psychoeducational evaluation reports for  historical
information

2. copies of the IEP's referenced on page CI  of the Candidate Form

Are they serious?  I don't know where  someone gets copies of these 
documents
short of visiting my old school  district's warehouse for my file.  I never
thought to keep any of this  because these documents were never requested
when I took the  GRE.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.
