You mean for people, like me, who know you can ask, feel no shame doing so, and believe it won’t hurt their reputation by doing so? Oh, and possibly pay for expensive third party testing.
It would be better to just provide tons of padding to everyone.
- asdff 6y agoIt won't hurt your reputation, its confidential information coordinated by your universities office for disability services (or some variant of that name). they even have private testing facilities if you are more comfortable in that environment rather than the lecture hall.

For those students, there is perceived stigma going to the administration for help, and that prevents people from asking for it, even if that perception is not reality. Why make people ask for accommodations when we can just setup the infrastructure to make it unnecessary to begin with, at least in a wide variety of cases.
