[blindlaw] LSAT Prep Materials

[Angie Matney]

Hello Haben,

Publishers are not required to provide Braille copies of books under the
ADA, unfortunately, I know that the books on Bookshare are older, but I
believe at least one contains actual LSAT's. This might be a good starting
point. I do understand your frustration. Good luck to you.

Subject: [blindlaw] LSAT Prep Materials

Good Morning,

Are there any LSAT prep materials in braille that are really recent? The 
Library of Congress has nothing. Bookshare.org has three LSAT prep books 
that were published in either 2002 or 2005. I purchased the print copy 
of the 2009 Cracking the LSAT book, which is published by the Princeton 
Review. I called them up today asking that they provide me with a 
braille copy. "Sorry, we don't have a braille copy," the customer 
service woman replied. There are many books currently unavailable in 
braille, but in the case of this book I feel unable to acknowledge this 
reality. Preparing for the LSAT is absolutely important, I want the best 
prep books in my most comfortable reading media: braille. I left a 
message with the Editorial staff asking for a braille copy or at least 
an electronic copy so I can emboss it myself. Shouldn't the Princeton 
Review be required to provide a braille copy of their book, as a 
reasonable accommodation under the ADA?

Those of you who are currently studying for the LSAT or have recently 
taken it, what study methods and materials did you use?

p.s. I can't use audio material because I'm hard-of-hearing.

Haben
