[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What accommodations does she need that she's not already getting?

You'll likely need updated paperwork (details depending on the school, but most likely within 3 years), but you don't necessarily need a different diagnosis.[/quote]

I’m not sure what accommodations she’ll need in college. 1-1 tutoring and extra time would be helpful. Written notes for lectures would be helpful.

Maybe these would be provided with a diagnosis of anxiety anyway. But I feel like her anxiety is caused by her dyslexia - not separate from it - and understanding her strengths and weaknesses will help her.[/quote]

Colleges aren't going to provide tutoring through disability services. But many (most?) schools have tutoring centers staffed by upperclassmen. It will be the student's responsibility to seek it out.

Understanding her strengths and weaknesses is important regardless of accommodations, so I encourage you to seek out private testing now. There's no reason to wait.[/quote]
