Hi all I am trying to gauge my chance of getting LSAT extra time accommodations. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Back story:
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a
kid and was on an IEP from 3rd grade
until HS. I then insisted on not being on
an IEP in Hs it because as a teenager I
was very anxious about the stigma it
came with at my school.
I was prescribed medication for ADHD until
sophomore year in college but never
completed an application for
accomadations during my studies. I
struggled in college with not receiving
accommodations but still pushed
through.
I am 27 now and have been
working in legal advocacy and
alternatives to incarceration for young
people with open court cases for the
past 4/5 years.
I am currently struggling with the LSAT
and can never finish a section
completely on time because it takes me sometimes a few minutes to even process the text. I continue to study but sometimes it feels impossible to be successful.
I want to get accommodations for extra
time but I'm afraid I won't because I
went without them for so long. Wish I
could go back now and tell my younger
self to ask for help but we are here now.
Does anyone have experience with this
stuff? Wondering what my chances are
with receiving an extra time
accommodation? Do you need a new
adult diagnosis? I've remained in
therapy for adhd/anxiety since I was 13.
Perhaps a letter from my current
provider and past ones will be enough
without the history of accommodations?
Let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much!
