Examination Disability Accommodation Policy
It is the responsibility of candidates who require test accommodations to notify the Board of Certification as early as possible, but no later than the examination registration deadline, of the need for accommodation. The Request for Disability Accommodation Form is below. Supporting documentation will be required to establish the reasonableness of the Request for Accommodation and to provide information as to the nature of the accommodation requested.
The Board of Certification must approve all disability accommodation requests prior to either the pencil-and-paper or computer-based test. In addition, if deemed appropriate, the Board of Certification may not provide the accommodation requested but may determine a reasonable alternative accommodation. The Board of Certification will work with SMT to provide the arrangements at the test site. The Board of Certification will cover the cost of accommodations it approves but will not pay for any costs the candidate may incur in obtaining and submitting required documentation.
The Board of Certification will consider all requests on a case-by-case basis. It may be necessary for testing staff to speak and correspond with the candidate regarding specific arrangements. Therefore, it is required that the candidate keep the Board of Certification informed of changes to the candidate’s contact information.
