[blindlaw] Testing accommodations

[Leslie Fairall]

Hi John:

How did you handle the multiple choice questions? Did you get the test in 
braille, electronic format, or use a reader?

It would be nice if blind people could just type our multiple choic 
answers instead of using a scribe. But to my knowledge, that's never been 
done before.

My main concern is being allowed to use my Pac Mate. If I call it a 
"Braille laptop (since they understand what a laptop does), I run the risk 
of them asking me to use ExamSoft. If I tell them I need to use a Braille 
notetaker, I run the risk of them denying me because they won't know 
what a notetaker is.
