Either my son or I talked to the disabilities office at each school he was investigating. All were forthcoming and helpful, but as I recall, every office said they’d do an individual review of the student’s documentation to decide what accommodations he would qualify for. I didn’t specifically ask, but when I think back I get the strong feeling that no school would have done that review for any student before he was admitted.

Nobody’s going to want to read through fifteen pages of dense prose, trying to figure out what accommodations would be appropriate, unless they have to.
