Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) is the College Board office that decides whether you can use requested accommodations on an exam such as the SAT. Your school’s SSD coordinator handles the school’s part of the request. The coordinator can explain the consent form, describe the support you use in class, and send any documentation that College Board requests.
For example, if you use extended time on school tests, tell the coordinator which tasks you need it for. If College Board approves your request, read the eligibility letter for the exam you plan to take. It lists your approved accommodations for that test, so you can check the arrangements with your coordinator before test day.
