[HumanSer] Accommodations with Pearson for Licensure NMHCE

[NFB Of TN VP]

Good day.
 Thanks for the suggestions so far.
 I have a pending appointment with Valerie. JD-great suggestions. THey said they would allow a note taker but I am not proficient in braille. I also want to share a great accessible resource if you plan on taking this test in your future:

Blindness is a mere characteristic not defining my abilities; the only disabilities in life are poor expectations and negative attitudes.
