Greetings

My name is John Vickers, and I am new to the mailing list. I feel privileged
to have a group of competent and amazing individuals who I can call on for
support and guidance. I know that many of you attended the National
Federation of the Blind National Convention, and I hope you had a blast. For
me, one thing that I took home was that I would like to start attending law
school. Yes, that is right-after 6 days, I made the decision.

I am currently a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for the state of
Texas-working for the Texas Workforce Commission.

I would love to share my reasons behind my career change, and discuss in
greater detail if you are interested, or think you could provide some
additional guidance; however, I have a couple of questions that I am seeking
answers to first.

While I have not registered for the LSAT exam at this point, I am planning
to take it in November of this year (2023). Does anyone know if there are
some resources that are available to help solidify some of the analytical
and logical reasoning concepts-that are specifically designed for those with
visual impairments in-mind? I am currently using a "ok," study guide, and
chat GPT to help evaluate my understanding of the information within the
chapters.

I have recently emailed the LSAC accommodations team to see if it would be
appropriate for me to bring the following items with me on testing day:

1.	A standard Perkins Brailler
2.	Draftsman Tactile Drawing Board from APH.

I also think it would be wise to have a reader as compared to Jaws.

I appreciate any feedback or thoughts.

Cordially

John Vickers
