Too late, the OP's child is 17, I would guess a rising senior. The College Board is much more strict with accommodations when they have been added so late.  It i such easier if the applicant can show that they need and have received accommodations for years.  My DC had IEP accommodations since 2nd grade and on all state tests.  He had a history.  He received all the accommodations for which he asked and within 2 weeks of applying.  [/quote]

SAT accommodations applications have changed in the last year or so.  I personally have a rising senior who took the SATs and PSATs unaccommodated in the fall of Jr year and scored over 1400.  Received a 504 plan in Spring of Jr year.  Retook SATs unaccomodated in June scoring even higher. Applied for SAT2 accomodations in June, received them by July and will test with accommodations in August as a rising Sr.   So we are an example of high scorer, late 504 plan and not a long history of accommodation but receiving swift SAT accommodations.   Much depends on the specific facts of your case and the documentation of your disability and its effects.  Please apply to CB for SAT accoms immediately after you are granted 504 plan.  The worst that can happen is they say no, and then you can still appeal/correct.

Posts like this one is why extra time on SAT is seen as a way for white, upper middle class/wealthy kids to get an unfair advantage. A SAT score of 1400 is already in the 96th percentile rank. [/quote]
