<p>I lean towards agreeing with siloconvalleymom, although I would like to hear from people who specifically know about disabilities and the UC application. What she is saying agrees with my general knowledge of the UCs, but I don’t have that particular issue, or any experience there. </p>
<p>The OP has a reason to disclose this because her son, with pretty stellar grades and ECs received a 26 on his ACT but took it with no accommodations, and the small print issue may very well have been a reason. He will be taking the test again, but if he comes up with a high score, one question is, does he mention this in his application as the reason for the change to colleges that require all test scores? </p>
<p>I think the OP is looking for advice from anyone who knows about this issue.</p>
<p>It may well be that they should pick and choose the schools though, as @siliconvalleymom suggests.</p>
