But what happens if you\u2019re blind and can\u2019t read the test?\u00a0What if you\u00a0have diabetes and struggle to sit through the 85 minutes of testing? For people who meet the disability requirements under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eeoc.gov\/laws\/statutes\/adaaa_info.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA)<\/a> or have health-related needs, they can receive reasonable and appropriate accommodations depending on the test\u2019s purpose. If you think that you qualify for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ets.org\/praxis\/register\/disabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">testing accommodation<\/a>, here are the steps that you should take to apply for them.<\/p>\n<h2>Determine the Needed Accommodations<\/h2>\n<p>After selecting your <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/praxis\/when-can-i-take-the-praxis-exam\/\">testing date<\/a>, consider which accommodations you\u2019ll require. Some of the ones that are available include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Extended time (time and a half, double time, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Additional breaks<\/li>\n<li>A test reader and writer for answers<\/li>\n<li>A sign language interpreter<\/li>\n<li>Perkins Braille or Braille slate and stylus<\/li>\n<li>Tests written in Braille<\/li>\n<li>An oral interpreter<\/li>\n<li>Separate testing space<\/li>\n<li>Printed copy of spoken directions<\/li>\n<li>An audio test<\/li>\n<li>An\u00a0Intellikeys keyboard<\/li>\n<li>A touchpad<\/li>\n<li>Screen magnification<\/li>\n<li>Different background or foreground colors<\/li>\n<li>A tracking ball on the computer screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s possible to have other accommodations approved, but you need to fill out the forms and request them. Whatever the accommodation may be, it needs to be considered\u00a0reasonable and appropriate for the exam.<\/p>\n<h2>Complete the Necessary Forms<\/h2>\n<p>There are several forms and documents that need to be sent before a decision can be made. Some of these\u00a0include the <a href=\"http:\/\/ets.org\/s\/praxis\/pdf\/cdt_authorization_voucher_request.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">register form<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ets.org\/s\/disabilities\/pdf\/bulletin_supplement_test_takers_with_disabilities_health_needs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">testing accommodations request form<\/a>, and a letter of support from your doctor or other professional. You need to gather all of the documentation necessary and fill everything out completely. If you need to send more information, then you\u2019re going to have to wait additional time to get approval.<\/p>\n<h2>Submit the Forms<\/h2>\n<p>Submit the forms and documentation through the mail or over email.\u00a0If\u00a0mailing the documents, include a check or money order to cover the cost of the exam. When using email, wait until you\u2019ve received approval to register and pay for your exam.<\/p>\n<h2>Wait for Approval<\/h2>\n<p>Approval can take up to 6 weeks before you receive an answer. If you submitted documentation over email, find your authorization or voucher number in the approval letter. Use this number to register line. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve completed this process, the accommodations will last for several years. Keep your authorization or voucher number readily available. If you need to take the test over again or decide to take a different exam, you can use the number to help you get the accommodations once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can you apply for testing accommodations for the Praxis Core?
