Subject: [humanser] Introducing myself and a question to counselors

Hello all,
My name is Elif. I am one of the scholarship finalists of this year. I have a question for mental health counselors, and I thought this is the right list for this question.
I got my masters degree on clinical mental health counseling, and  currently I am a Ph.D. student in counselor education program.
 I decided to get my counseling license to be an LPC.
 I applied to sit for NCE. Currently Pearson VUE delivers the NCE on  behalf of NBCC.
 I requested taking my exam on a computer with a screen reader. They  told that it is not possible. They only provider reader. This is a 200  question exam at least 4 hours. It has been at least 5 years since I  took my exam with an in-person reader, and it was horrible. I don’t  want to deal with it again.
 So my question at this point
 Has anyone taken this exam on a computer with a screen reader in  different states? I am in Ohio. If yes, when was it and what was the  company delivering the exam?
 If not, what can I or we do to change this? It is not equal for us.
 Has anyone gone through a similar process? What is the legal procedure  for this? Do you think NFB can do anything at this point?
 They asked me whether I accept a reader or not? I haven’t replied yet.
 What should I do at this point?
See you in Orlando
 Thanks in advance
