Thank you for contacting CLEP.

Unfortunately, JAWS is not an available option for CLEP testing.  
Documentation can be provided by your physician or other medical  
professional.

We hope this information is helpful. If you write to us again, please

     Hello,

Thanks for your message. You mention that ZoomText is available for  
screen
mangnification, but is JAWS available--that is screen reading  
technology on
the computer? Also, I am already in college, and IEPs are only issued  
for
K-12 students. What "comparable" documentation should I expect to have  
to
present?

Thank you,
Corbb O'Connor
