[blindLaw] logic games

[Seif-Eldeen Saqallah]

When I took the LSAT in 2016, I was approved for a braillenot (18 display).

Braillenote, excel, and tactiles are listed as possible accommodations:

Accommodations That May Be Available on the LSAT | The Law School
Admission Council
https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsac-policy-accommodations-test-takers-disabilities/accommodations-may-be-available-lsat
The following is a non-exhaustive list of testing accommodations that
may be available on the LSAT (or may have an equivalent accessibility
feature on the Digital LSAT or the LSAT Writing). The inclusion of a
particular accommodation in the list below does not guarantee that you
will receive this accommodation if requested. Each request is
reviewed, and a decision whether to grant any testing accommodations
is made, on a case-by-case basis in accordance with LSAC’s stated
policies.
Braille Note
Tactile manipulatives (e.g., rubber graph board and tactile letters or
pictures; magnetic board with magnetic letters or objects )
Excel spreadsheets

Sincerely,
Seif
