Steps to get a writing accommodation with paper/pencil LSAT?

Taking the Jan 2023 LSAT, and in the process of registering for the exam. Has anyone gotten accommodations with getting a paper copy of the exam? If so, how do you go about getting such accommodation? Thanks!

Hi, I got accommodation because an social anxiety disorder especially around performance. I originally took myself to get a Psych evaluation bc I thought I had ADHD. But it turns out I displayed so much Anxiety that the Psychologist couldn't make an ADHD diagnosis until I had my anxiety under control. (we are working on that)He pointed out in my Psych exam that I did better when I was able to use my hands and noted that in his official evaluation. When I applied for accommodation I asked and explain why I needed a paper copy and backed it up with the evaluation I had. I als submitted a Qualified Professional form which my Psychologist has to also fill out.

In short if you can explain why you have a need for it and get a Professional to legitimately back it up you should be good.

hope this helped
