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!<br>
<br>
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
