Hi all,
So when I was little (like 8), I was diagnosed with a learning disability similar to dyslexia. Because of my learning disability, I have always (including in high school and university) had learning accommodations, including extra time on tests.
Because I have never taken the SAT (I'm Canadian) or any other standardised tests accepted by LSAC, I have to provide proof of my learning disability and previous use of accommodations to them. I have documentation from both my university and my high school, which verifies my disability and the use of accommodations on all previous tests (including my diplomas).
I am struggling with getting a qualified professional to fill out the qualified professional form. When I called them and asked who counts as a qualified professional, they said it had to be a doctor who had previously assessed me. Unfortunately, the last person who assessed me seems to be inaccessible. I've done everything I can think of to contact her! I've looked on Linkedin, called my high school because she worked with them, and even called the psychologist association to see if they could contact her on my behalf. Still nothing. I've also tried seeing if another psychologist could reevaluate me, and it seems like I don't have the time or resources to get reevaluated in time.
So what I am wondering is if anyone has been in a similar situation or knows anyone who has and can give me some advice! Do you think they will grant my request even without a qualified professional? Am I misunderstanding who counts as a qualified professional or missing something? Any advice or insight would be great!
If you read this far, thank you! I'm terrified of having to take this test without accommodations because it will be the first I take a test without them in my life :(
@ Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it! I am going to see my GP next week to see if she's okay with filling out the form :)
