[humanser] accommodation question

[Justin Williams]

They wouldn't, but the people might make you prove that you have a visual
disability.
I would just bring a sign statement from a professional or a doctor. I'd
call and aks first.  I wouldn't go get an eye exam, I'd advocate for myself
on that one.

Yes, but why would someone ask to take a test with JAWS if they did not have
a valid reason to??

They may need some sort of proof that he's blind.  Something signed by a
doctor or a certified professional in the field should be good enough,
especially if he has regular checkups. They shouldn't need an actual exam to
be done if there is already a record of b lindness.

Hi List,

My husband is preparing to take a standardized test to complete a
certification.  Several of his colleagues and  he have requested to use JAWS
for the exam.  They were told they had to provide an eye exam before the
accommodation will be provided.  This did not sound right to me.  Is it?
