Arrangements for persons with disabilities will
be provided upon request, in conformance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Professional documentation in support of requests
for accommodation must be submitted to CCO no
later than four (4) weeks prior to the scheduled
test date.
Applications must be accompanied by documentation
of the disability and an explanation of the need
for the accommodation(s). A letter from an appropriate
professional (e.g., physician, psychologist,
occupation therapist, educational specialist)
or evidence of prior diagnosis or accommodation
(e.g., special education services) may be included.
Previous school records may also be submitted
to document the disability. Any professional
providing documentation should have knowledge
of the disability, have diagnosed and/or evaluated
the candidate, or have provided accommodation
previously.
The letter must be on official stationery and
include the following information:
- Identification of the specific disability/diagnosis.
- The approximate date when the disability
was first diagnosed/identified.
- A brief history of the disability.
- Identification of the test/protocols
used to confirm the diagnosis.
- A brief description of the disability.
- A description of past accommodations
made for the disability.
- An explanation of the need for the
testing accommodation(s).
- Signature and title of the professional.
Requests for special accommodations will be
reviewed by CCO. Specific questions regarding
the provisions of a testing accommodation should
be directed to International Assessment Institute.
Failure to notify CCO of needed accommodations
may result in the accommodations not being available
at the time of the examination.
If a candidate has already been granted accommodation,
and the disability remains the same for a second
examination, you need not submit documentation
again.
You should inform CCO if you are aware of any
candidates requesting special accommodations
at your test administration.
