You shouldn't have to include a list of accomodations you don't need
on the test. Talk to the legal team at NFB, Speak with Meghan, she may
be back in the office. Also talk to Dr. Maurer. He may refer you to
one of our other legal team members.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
Help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation to the
