ISEE by ERB
Testing Accommodations
ERB will make every effort to accommodate students who are unable to take the ISEE under standard conditions due to a documented disability.
Requesting Accommodations
Accommodations requests are reviewed in the order in which they are received. The review and approval process for testing accommodations can take approximately one week once your completed accommodations request is received. Approved accommodation(s) are valid for 15 months from the date of approval. Any accommodations that your student receives are not flagged on the ISEE Score Report.
Request accommodations
Create or log in to your parent account. If you haven't already done so, add your student to your account. Next, go to your student's dashboard and select the "Accommodations" toggle. In the Active Accommodations section, click "New Request" to begin the accommodations request process.

Register for a test
If your student is approved for the requested accommodation(s), you may register for a test offering those accommodation(s). We cannot guarantee that every test site will offer all of your accommodations. To avoid rescheduling fees, do not register for a test until after you have received your accommodations decision.

Eligibility
We make every effort to accommodate students who are unable to take the ISEE under standard conditions due to a documented learning difference or other health impairments. To receive testing accommodations, eligible students must demonstrate the following.
Students must have a diagnosed disability that necessitates accommodation(s).
Students must have complete and current documentation that establishes a need for the requested accommodation(s).
Due to a disability, students must be granted and utilize the requested accommodation(s) on a regular basis in their current academic setting as a necessity for demonstrating true aptitude.
Students recovering from a temporary disability such as a broken arm or concussion do not qualify for testing accommodations on the ISEE. Please consider testing at a later date.
Required Documentation
Requests are not reviewed until both a copy of the supporting documentation and the current school statement form have been received.
Supporting Documentation
Supporting documents may include one or more of the following:
Complete psycho-educational evaluation dated within the last three years.
District-issued IEP or 504 Plan from the current calendar year.
Independent School Accommodation Plan. This is a private, independent, or special education school’s version of an IEP.
A letter from a medical doctor if the accommodations are required due to a medically-treated issue (some types of chronic disease), a physical disability (legal blindness, deafness, paralysis, etc.), or other condition treated with prescription medication (such as ADHD).
Current School Statement
The Current School Statement describes the accommodations the student currently receives and utilizes for school-based tests. This form must be completed by an administrator or specialist responsible for granting requests for student accommodations at the student’s current school—including virtual or homeschool settings.
The Current School Statement is found on Page 3 of the ISEE Accommodations Request Form, which can be downloaded from your online parent account.
Accommodation Availability
Not all accommodations can be offered in every testing environment or test format. Students who are approved for accommodation(s) should register for a test that offers their approved accommodations. For more detailed information about each accommodation, go here.
