Good afternoon Frank,I would agree that someone who is not a classmate should do the reading. However, it is necessary in a technical exam to have a reader who is familiar with the technical language used.
Also, I would argue that a reader / recorder is not a reasonable accommodation. I would think that a reasonable accommodation would be that the test be accessible with a screen-reader, or through printed braille.
That being said I'm from Canada and we hav different legislation regarding reasonable accommodation.

OK well that is perfectly reasonable that it cannot be a classmate or someone familiar with the material. Naturally that would give you an unfair advantage. I don't see what there is to fight, they are giving you more then reasonable accommodation by allowing you to use someone to read it to you. I am taking the Microsoft 70-290 real soon with no more accommodation. I also don't see with a school for the blind has anything to do with it.

Yes they have the same rules that JFW (or any software for that matter) cannot be loaded onto their testing computers. Have you asked CompTia if you can have someone read the test to you. According to Microsoft they are OK with that as long as they supply the reader and I require no additional accommodations. Maybe Comptia will have something similar. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Faucheux Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 2:05 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: comptuia certifications and jfw list rss feed address hey list can anyone give me the url for this list's rss feed.
