SAT prep classes for students with accommodations

[Lara]

Hi! 

My 10th grader has accommodations approved by the college board for 100% extra time and screen reader. 

I wanted to enroll her in an SAT prep class but then realized that most of the classes start by taking practice tests. These test during the class would not allow for these accommodations. Some will allow her to come early or take the practice test at home the night before but don't have the screen read function.

Does anyone know of a test prep class that specializes in working with students who have approved accommodations? We are in PA the suburbs of Philadelphia.

Would love any guidance anyone can offer. 

Also wondering between the ACT and SAT what has been your experience with your child? Is one proven better for certain learning disabilities or strengths?

Thank you.

I've been an educational advocate in SW PA for years.  I don't recall this being something I've seen anywhere.  My best guess is this doesn't exist.  You might be able to find a 1:1 SAT tutor who can do this.  My thought is (1) there are dozens of different accommodations and (2) students who need accommodations will often not go to college so it's not very feasible to offer a class.

My child had 100% extra time from the College Board.  Our plan was for them to take the SAT & see how things went.  If they needed a prep class, we'd go with the one the local PTA sponsored because it has a good reputation.  I hadn't thought about the fact that there wouldn't be extra time with a practice test.  BTW, with a class size of ~275, my child was the only person who took the SAT w/ extra time when they took the test.  They did it at school over 2 days and they missed classes.
