I got a Neuropsychological evaluation done which is good for five years. They gave me the accommodations like note taker, extra time, quiet room, and tape recorder. I had a lot of problems trying to get accommodations from my high school. Even though it's not related I don't trust the disability department at my community college. One of the people said to me that I don't have to agree with him on some of the accommodations. I'm thinking that I need additional stuff as well and don't know what that is exactly. They've also wanted me to ask the group that I work with if I need additional evaluations. They said that it's appropriate with what the Neuropsychological evaluation told them. I tend to disagree. What should I do? Should I also get a Psychoeducational evaluation if the group I'm with agree with that? What else can be done?

I just don't like the tape recorder idea since other students voices would be on there. I would only want the professors voice. The note taker is good if you can find a responsible person to do it. Extra time I haven't really used a lot. The quiet room isn't bad and you just sit in there. It's supposed to help you with less distractions and noise.

Also I had IEPs at the cyber school and many other IEPs at my high school. The ones that were done at my high school weren't good. I never had a section 504. They really never asked me to give them anything from high school or anything like that. I was also a special education student in high school. I was in it until I graduated.

I'm thinking it's a learning disability. I've also heard about Dyscalculia which is a math disability. I just think that there also wasn't enough explanation from the neuropsychological evaluation. So I really don't know what is wrong with me or anything. I don't know if I have a specific learning disability or not. The people from the school keep telling me to go to my group and ask them if I need anything additional. They keep saying for my Psychiatrist to explain it to me or the psychologist that did it. The psychologist that did it doesn't work at the place that I got it done.

What do I want? Just to know if I need anything additional to the Neuropsychological evaluation. So I can give it to the disability department and get further accommodations/modifications. I also know there is no special education in community college.

I'm also on a number of medications and I see the group for my mental health problems. I don't trust the disability department and I think they need to help me more.

What should I do?

Thanks
