[humanser] Idea about Testing Issues for Social Work Licensing Exams

[Sandy]

Allysa,

is there still a division for social workers with disabilities within NASW 
of Massachusetts?  If so, they may have more interest.  I have been in the 
NASW and the state affiliate, but did not put money in to join now.  It is a 
lower cost to join as a student.  I took the exam prep course offered by the 
Massachusetts affiliate and received a very complete study guide.  I was 
told the exam would not work with JAWS.  What I did was to have a person 
mark answers, and there was a print answer book for her.  We didn't use the 
computer at all.  Also I had the test questions in Braille.  Yes, to be able 
to utilize a screen reader with the exam would be great.
