I have a daughter who may never be able to do well a “bubble” test, due to vision issues. (However, she is not legally blind.) What sort of a paper trail of her trips to vision specialists, etc. should I be keeping so she can get accommodations on her college admissions tests?

Dear Janet,
I’m not exactly sure about what to do about a paper trail, but I know where to find the answer. The College Board is used to dealing with students that have a variety of conditions that may require accommodation on the test. Do some research first, by reading this page on the College Board website, and following all the links until you become reasonably knowledgeable.

After reading that page, contact The College Board. Work the problem now, to start the process. I know that the process can take a while, so give yourself a LOT of time.
I hope that will help!
