Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] Problems Taking Licensing/Certification Exams?


Have you experienced difficulty requesting accommodations to take a high stakes licensing or certification examination because of your blindness? Did you request accommodations because of your blindness and been denied? Or did you make arrangements for accommodations and experience difficulty when taking the exam? If so, the Human Services Division of the National Federation of the Blind needs to hear from you!

                One of the priorities of the Division is to remove the barriers blind professionals in the Human Services fields, such as social workers, counselors, speech pathologists, genetic counselors, medical professionals, etc., face when attempting to fulfill the requirements of their professional credentialing due to their blindness. If you have faced difficulties with your professional examination, please complete the brief questionnaire that follows my signature and return it to us as soon as possible to

With warm regards,
