I think also, that since sighted people are able to read and re-read a question and their ansewr, we should be able to do the same. It's fine to have a reader, but it's easier to have the test in a format (such as braille, or on the braille note) so that we can look at the test at our leisure. I personally have had very bad readers who would sigh, shuffle papers around and act rude if I asked them to read the question more than 2 times.

Obviously if the test is being given to others in a printed format than a reader is a reasonable accommodation, but if mainstream is using the computer to take the tests then we should be able to do so also.

That being the case, we should not be allowed either. Case closed. Take care. **All outgoing messages scanned using Norton Antivirus 2006.
