If you already have a good understanding of her needs, you can work backward from the accommodations. For us, the tester made sure to use tests that would back up the need for those accommodations.
We already had a diagnosis, so just needed to verify that. Had a list of accommodations, and the tester wanted to add some other accommodations. DS asked they be taken off as he didn't want those to be chosen over the ones that worked for him. It was more of a negotiation.
Each college website has a list of what they want for each kind of disability. You can ask the disability office at the school, and they will answer generally, but don't want to have anything to do with knowing a disability at the time of application. We found different schools had slightly different rules. Some more lax and some were clearly gate keeping.
We had to pay, so we used the cheapest we could get, and it worked fine. In fact, when I was calling around, I stayed away from people who wanted to go from scratch. We didn't want them messing up what was working by coming up with another diagnosis (could easily have been a number of different diagnoses, but DS just needed accommodations for one of them).
