You guys are all so great this was so helpful honestly life changing to hear everyone’s experience and know that I have a chance at getting this accommodation!! I really appreciate all of your replies so much. I feel uplifted and I’m motivated to get my documents together to apply for the extra time. Glad to see other folks with adhd and or other disabilities or mental health diagnoses can be successful and pursue law 🥰 Thank you all for the advice and sharing your stories!!

ADHD & LSAT Accommodations

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!
