Verifying and Documenting Disabilities

Verification of documented disabilities must occur before a GED candidate can request accommodations during testing. While both medical and emotional disabilities may be verified through consultation with the candidate’s medical doctor, specific learning disabilities and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder must be diagnosed and verified by a certified professional.

When correctly completed, these forms provide the required information necessary to determine whether a person who is identified as having a disability is eligible for accommodations when taking the GED Tests. Request for Testing Accommodations forms will not be accepted for the review process until signed by the Chief Examiner of the Testing Center.

The information provided to GEDTS about any specific disability will be treated as confidential and will be used solely to determine eligibility for accommodations.  Details about testing accommodations will be shared only with the testing staff and will not be released to anyone else.

If you have further questions on documenting disabilities or requesting accommodations for GED candidates, please contact your local testing center.
