[humanser] Issues with Pearson View/ASWB Exam

[Serena Cucco]

Hi Allysa,

When I requested accommodations, I dealt with the NASWB, not the
testing center itself and got my exam in Braille.  At this point, I
don't know if you could get Braille.  They might be more helpful about
scheduling your test, however.  800-225-6880 and ask for the
disability representative.  This was several years ago, so I hope the
number is still accurate.
