Learning Disorders
If you have one of these learning or language disorders:
- Dyslexia

Then, when filling out your "Accommodation Request" form, you will need to attach the following document: "Speech Therapy Report".
The Speech Therapy Report
The speech therapy report is a document required by the Special Needs Office. It must meet certain criteria to be deemed acceptable when evaluated by the CEBP.
List of criteria to meet
The speech therapy report must be:
- Written in French or English,
- Typed,
- In PDF format,
- Dated within the last 3 years (if the assessment was conducted before the age of 18) or dated within the last 5 years (if the assessment was conducted after the age of 18),
- Conducted with tests appropriate for the student's age and level of education and contain the quantitative results of these tests,
- Describe and justify the requested accommodations.
If you do not yet have a document meeting these criteria, we recommend contacting your speech therapist and providing them with this list.
