Good afternoon all,

 

I am circulating the following announcement from Valerie Yingling. I know a
number of us have experienced or are experiencing access barriers with
counseling licensure exams. Please reach out to Valerie with any related
questions/concerns.

 

*Announcement below*

 

The NFB is gathering information regarding access barriers with Center for
Credentialing & Education (CCE) and National Board for Certified Counselors
(NBCC) exams. If you have encountered barriers or delays with requesting
accommodations and completing an accessible CCE or NBCC exam, or if you plan
to take a CCE or NBCC exam in the future, please contact Valerie Yingling,
NFB legal program coordinator, at vyingling at nfb.org
<mailto:vyingling at nfb.org>  by December 15. Examples of CCE and NBCC tests
include the National Counselor Examination (NCE), National Clinical Mental
Health Counseling Examination (NCMHCE), and state counselor licensure exams,
among other tests. 

 

Thanks,

 

Valerie Yingling

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming
of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a
glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to
cooperate with the good, that it may prevail." ― Helen Keller
