[quote=Anonymous]Congratulations, OP! It is such a huge relief. I also have a senior who has been accepted and has committed to his top choice.  I’ll also answer the questions to share our perspective.

Kind of testing or other documentation requested by colleges to qualify for services
No, DS did not want to do this.  I was going to try to get him to if he was learning towards a school where he may have needed it to try to get an accommodation for a single but this wasn’t needed.

- Did you contact disability services offices directly? If so, when in the search process?
No, he didn’t want to contact them at all.

- Did your children visit the school of choice more than once? Yes, 3 times already

- What resources did you use to evaluate needed supports for a DC - hiring a consultant
At any point, using a parent FB group, using lists of colleges with good support programs? We looked mostly at programs to see which would be a good fit.  Even then, some seemed perfect and then we went to the school for a visit and he immediately knew it was not the place for him.  In person visits we’re important to our son.  We used Google and old fashion Internet searches and process of elimination.  What he thought he wanted at the beginning of his junior year was not what he wanted by the beginning of his senior year.

- Did your children take the SATs, ACT or apply to test optional schools?  Test optional. He didn’t want to take them. We encouraged him to but he refused.

- Did you get testing on adult scales done? No[/quote]
