[nabs-l] Two questions EDTPA

[Minhh Ha]

Hi Bridget,

I don't know anything about the EDTPA, but Pearson has a whole accessibility division that handles stuff like this. You should get in touch with them and see what kind of support they offer. I've worked with them before for an online platform thing I was using for hs and they were very helpful.
