> Generally, blind people can get double time as an accommodation for the
> LSAT. A separate testing room, accessible clock/watch, and an amanuensis to
> complete the scantron sheet are also regularly approved accommodations for
> LSAT test takers who are blind. I also know one recent test taker who was
> able to take part of the test (which was all she/he asked for) on a computer
> equipped with Jaws. This person had to advocate for this accommodation but
> was successful in getting it for a test within the past year. As for the
> logic games section blind people ask for either a tactile drawing kit, a
> magnetic board with several sets of accessible magnetic letters or for those
> with low vision, some sort of large paper and markers or use of a CCTV to
> map out the games.

> Other accommodations blind/low vision people have received include:
> - use of a Braille note taking device
> - eye rest breaks 
> - control of the lighting (including bringing your own lamps)
> - access to water
> - a human reader
> - a Braille test
> - enlarged scantron
> - large print test
> - use of a computer with Jaws and/or zoom text for the writing section

> Good luck with your test preparation!
