Michele,

 I use the Washington 13 for our Learning Needs  Screening Tool, but I also
add one more question and call mine "the Washington 13 plus one". The 14th
question  is:"Have you ever had a severe head injury?" What ever items they
check  in this orientation  process, I go over with the student. If they
have medical documentation that this has occurred, they are entitled to
have GED accommodations which could include extra time.(Usually time and a
half is granted, so if it takes an hour then an extra 1/2 hour would be
allowed.)  This of course needs to have special paperwork filled out by the
director of the local  GED program and then okayed by the state GED office
before the Official GED can be given.  It does hurt to ask you GED office
if you are unsure. Hope this may help.
