[blindlaw] blindlaw Digest, Vol 122, Issue 10

Mon Jul 14 20:23:34 UTC 2014

Amy,
   I took the test back in February. I requested to have the Logical
Reasoning section of the test in Braille format. At first LSAC refused
to give me the logical reasoning section in Braille, but then they
changed their mind after they understood that they would be breaking
the law. They might let you use a Braille Display, but you would have
to prove that your Braille Display is not connected to the internet.
Alternatively, they will give you a hard copy of that one section in
braille. You can also ask for other accommodations such as double
time,, and the ability to use some kind of a tool for the logical
reasoning section such as Excel spreadsheet on a computer or a game
board.

   Good luck,
   Nijat

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.
