[humanser] NCE Question

[Darla Rogers]

Dear Mary,

	You have to do what you have to do to keep yourself fed and clothed;
I wonder if it's too much too hope that the fact the BAR exam has been
changed will help in our fight to have mental health professional exams in
alternate formats.

Darla,
In speaking with Mr. Brown in the past, I learned that legal proceedings to
insure that lawyers who sit for the bar could use screen reading software
for the exam has been legally secured. I am certain that this was a long and
arduous process; however, if it can change what it means to be blind, I want
to be a part of the fight. I will lose a significant amount if this is not
realized by December and I will have to assess as the time comes nearer.

Quite right, Mary; this disregard and paternalism and ignorance has gone on
way long enough; maybe Mr. Brown can tell us if anyone has won a lawsuit
against a testing entity.  It seems I remember, at least one, but I am not
even sure how to Google it.
	How dare they keep you from retaining employment; it would be neat
to see a class of folks who want to test sued; litigation, as you know,
takes time, but you could probably sue for lost potential wages--actually in
your case--they would be real wages.

Jeannie,
I am dealing with this dilemma at this exact moment. Trying to sit for my
EPPP licensure so I can ethically practice, move into additional private
practice as I have many referrals who are awaiting the occurrence and, I
must have the necessary licensure to stay gainfully employed where I have
been for 5 years. Like you I have been told the there is only a computerized
version; I have been denied access using screen reading software. The state
agency has agreed to provide the software, load it at the proctor site for
the exam, and offer trouble shooting support and, yet, the licensing board
has denied the accommodation. They have offered large print or reader and
scribe. As a doctorate in psychology I was insensed by the dismissive tone
and disregard and I have asked that the Federation aid me in resolving this
issue. Obviously, this delays this necessary process but, I feel I must
fight. I am copying Charlie Brown of the Federation in hopes that he may
speak to this question.
I hope our collective voices will enact change mechanisms so that we may
function wholly as the mental health professionals that we are.
Genuinely,
Mary Tatum Chappell, Psy. D.

Hello all-

It's great to see the recent activity on the list! I have a quick question
for anyone who has recently or is getting ready to take the NCE Exam , or
well, actually, any other Masters level licensure examination. I have been
told that , although the exam is in an electronic format, I will have to
take it with a scribe and a reader in a private room. I would like to ask
everyone's thoughts on this issue and learn from your experiences as well. 

I appreciate any feedback that you can give me and anyone else preparing to
take a certification or licensure exam in the mental health field.

Jeannie
