If you have a disability which will affect the way you take the ACT, there may be more that you need to do to prepare for the test than just studying. You may also need to take a little time to request accommodations for your disability. The ACT has made clear its commitment to providing reasonable service for those who need it; however, there are documentation and official requests needed.

If your current school makes accommodations for you due to a professional diagnosed disability, you can provide documentation of it as a request for things like extended time, a date change, etc. The basic fees that you have to pay will be the same, and the information that you have provided will be kept confidential. One thing that is not considered a disability is a lowered English proficiency. The ACT and the extra writing test are only available in the English language.
