[blindLaw] Readers or scribes on LSAT

[Syed Rizvi]

Hi, 
I requested a scribe on the LSAT just to fill in the physical paper answer bubble sheet as I dictated the answers to the multiple choice questions. For college or graduate school, I requested accessible instructional materials and I use a screen reader to read my materials and I type out my answers. Unless a student is required to fill in a scantron, I believe that the student should request accessible materials from the school and access training to use said materials. Happy to help however I can.
