Testing for Students with Special Accommodations

Students may request nonstandard testing accommodations when testing for the CTY Talent Searches. Please obtain the required information from the appropriate organization listed below.

Please note:
Because of the individualized nature of the non-standard testing conditions and the coordination of resources, the special accommodations process may take several weeks to complete.

Parents are strongly advised to start the process early to avoid any conflicts with CTY deadlines.
