School Accommodations

Overview

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), individuals with a learning disability, psychiatric disability, and/or physical disability are entitled to accommodations in the classroom and on standardized tests. Accommodations include extended time on tests, tests administered in a separate location, extended breaks, flexible scheduling, and a computer for handwritten responses, among others.

The most crucial action you can take is to educate yourself once any findings have been confirmed. You are your child’s most important advocate, so it is essential you understand what they are facing. We provide tailored recommendations, and referrals are made upon request to personally verified specialists.

Greenwich Psychology Group understands that every parent needs a partner in the process, and we will provide information and guidance. We are happy to share assessment results and recommendations and discuss eligibility for your child’s school accommodations.

Our team will empower you with important information and your educational rights to effectively work with your child’s team. Most crucially, this information will help you better understand your child and provide a tailored treatment plan that can help you, your child, teachers, and other providers to meet your child’s needs and help them reach their full potential.

Take the GPG Symptom Checker

At Greenwich Psychology Group, our symptom checker helps clients track their symptoms of depression or anxiety. Taking the assessment doesn't provide a formal diagnosis, but it can help you determine what next steps you may need to take. The evaluation uses a series of questions to review the feelings and symptoms you've experienced over the past two weeks. The results will help you distinguish if professional help is the best next step.
