[humanser] Problems with Licensing/Certification Exams?

[Marion Gwizdala]

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

additional questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. My
contact information is below my signature.
