*Stevenson wants to give every student the opportunity to succeed. We will work with students and parents to create an Accommodations Plan for students with documented learning differences and/or any other diagnosed disabilities that impact learning.
As students progress through our PK–Grade 12 program, documentation is needed to apply for accommodations on standardized testing (i.e. College Board and ACT).
**Stevenson partners with Independent Specialists for support services including occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and reading instruction and tutoring.
