[nabs-l] Two questions EDTPA

Hi all,
Within the next three semesters I will be officially completing my BA degree in education while simultaneously starting my first masters degree. I start grad school this fall even though I am not quite done with undergrad.
With this in mind my teacher certification tests are right around the corner. I must take three. One is the ALST which is taking the place of the LAST. This is due to the common core shift. The second is the CST in English. The third which is the one I am most concerned about is the EDTPA.
The EDTPA is a portfolio completed during the capstone or duration  student teaching. There are lesson plans, diagnostic criteria, and the worst of videos which need to be uploaded to this portfolio. The portfolio is reviewed by the board of education so it has to be spot on.
I know the EDTPA comes from Pearson. Are there any education majors going through this? How do I go about getting accommodations for this because it is a test. I will need a platform compatible to a screen reader. 
I asked my college but, when it comes to state testing accommodations no one knows what to do.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bridget
