SAR Form
The Support for Accommodation Request (SAR) form was developed by the Iowa Department of Education with input from the Area Education Agencies, postsecondary instituations around the state, and K-12 special education teachers.
The form was created in an effort to help bridge the gap between high school and postsecondary for students with disabilities; the SAR form is a tool for summarizing documentation from a student’s secondary school experience.
The goal is for students and their teachers or transition coordinators to complete the SAR form together, summarizing relevant and useful information from a variety of sources (IEPs, assessments, reevaluations, high school records). The SAR can be used as the basis for verifying eligibility and supporting requests for accommodations, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids at the postsecondary level.
