Now the American Bar Association’s Commission on Disability Rights has asked the council to change the way it handles requests for testing accommodations, to “ensure that the exam reflects what the exam is designed to measure, and not the test taker’s disability.”
That language came from a resolution the commission has drafted for a vote by the ABA’s House of Delegates during its midyear meeting in February. The document urges the council to remove communication barriers with accommodation seekers, change its rules regarding accommodations, and offer auxiliary aids and services to disabled test takers.
