Support That Meets You Where You Are
Helping Students with Special Needs and Testing Accommodations
At Arete Education, we understand that every student learns differently. For students with learning differences, attention challenges, processing disorders, or other special needs, navigating school or high-stakes testing can be especially overwhelming. We offer thoughtful, experienced support to help students and families understand their options, access the right resources, and build a path forward with confidence.
Personalized Support for Every Stage of the Journey
We work with students from elementary school to college and beyond to help them overcome academic challenges and secure the accommodations they are entitled to. Our team understands how difficult the process can be, especially when students are bright, motivated, and still struggling.
We help students and families with:
- Identifying learning differences or challenges
We refer families to trusted neuropsychologists and educational specialists for formal evaluations when appropriate. - Securing school-based accommodations (IEPs and 504 Plans)
We guide families through school systems and help them advocate effectively for services that meet their child’s needs. - Navigating standardized testing accommodations
Whether you are applying for accommodations on the SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, ISEE, SSAT, Advanced Placement (AP) Exams, college and graduate-level coursework and exams, or other exams, we help you prepare documentation and navigate the process with clarity and confidence. - One-on-one tutoring and executive function coaching
We pair students with tutors who understand how to teach in ways that support different learning styles, from ADHD and dyslexia to processing speed issues and anxiety.

You Do Not Have to Navigate This Alone

Arete is here to help make the process more manageable. Whether you are at the beginning of the journey or deep in it, we bring the knowledge, experience, and empathy to support your student’s long-term success.
