[Nfb-dc] Fwd: Problems Taking Licensing/Certification Exams?

[NFB-DC Affiliate]

Have you experienced difficulty requesting accommodations to take a
high stakes licensing or certification examination because of your
blindness? Did you request accommodations because of your blindness
and been denied? Or did you make arrangements for accommodations and
experience difficulty when taking the exam? If so, the Human Services
Division of the National Federation of the Blind needs to hear from you!

                 One of the priorities of the Division is to remove
the barriers blind professionals in the Human Services fields, such
as social workers, counselors, speech pathologists, genetic
counselors, medical professionals, etc., face when attempting to
fulfill the requirements of their professional credentialing due to
their blindness. If you have faced difficulties with your
professional examination, please complete the brief questionnaire
that follows my signature and return it to us as soon as possible to

or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch
with me. My contact information is below my signature.

With warm regards,
