G. The Learning Center & Academic Services

WMA is committed to providing an accessible and supportive environment for students with disabilities. We encourage students to become active partners in the accommodation process and to take ownership of their educational experience. We aim to help these students develop self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-advocacy, which are critical life skills and essential to finding success at WMA.

1. Academic Accommodations

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act as Amended (ADAAA) of 2008, WMA provides accommodations that are reasonable and appropriate to students with properly documented disabilities. Accommodation eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis after a thorough documentation review.

Reasonable accommodations permit a qualified student access to WMA’s programs without fundamentally altering the essential elements of the academic program, requirements or curriculum.

Students who wish to request such accommodations should contact the Dean of Studies to receive guidance in what documentation is necessary for the review. Please keep in mind that necessary documentation from an evaluator with relevant professional credentials can take substantial time and the review of accommodation requests may be subject to processing and service delays. Any questions should be directed to the Director of the Learning Center or Dean of Studies.

2. Standardized Testing Accommodations

The College Board (PSAT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests and AP exams) and the ACT offer nonstandard administration of standardized tests for qualified students. Applying for accommodations on standardized tests is a separate process from that which is used at WMA to determine eligibility for accommodations on school-based tests. In order to receive assistance in submitting accommodations requests, please complete the ACT’s and College Board’s Consent Forms for Accommodation Requests so that we can submit the appropriate and required documentation on behalf of your child. Families and students should contact the College Counseling Office for assistance.
