  1. What does the term 'reasonable accommodation' mean in the context of CBT testing?

    A reasonable accommodation removes disability-related barriers while preserving the integrity and validity of the exam being administered.

  2. Screen reader software used as a CBT accommodation converts which type of content into audible output?

    Answer: On-screen text, including questions and answer options

    Screen readers read aloud on-screen text—including questions, answer choices, and navigation menus—enabling candidates with visual impairments or dyslexia to access the content.

  3. How far in advance should most CBT candidates submit accommodation requests to testing agencies?

    Answer: Several weeks to several months before the test, as specified by the agency

    Testing agencies typically require advance notice—often four to eight weeks or more—to review documentation and arrange approved accommodations.

  4. Which group of professionals most commonly provides documentation used to support CBT accommodation requests for ADHD?

    Answer: Licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, or neuropsychologists

    ADHD diagnoses must be confirmed by qualified mental health or medical professionals such as psychologists or psychiatrists to be accepted by testing agencies.

    Answer: A medical accommodation that testing centers are generally required to permit

    Permitting medical devices like glucose meters is a standard medical accommodation the ADA requires testing centers to allow for candidates with diabetes.

  6. What is the role of an 'accommodation letter' in the CBT process?

    Answer: It officially authorizes the specific accommodations approved for a candidate's test session

    An accommodation letter issued by the testing agency documents the approved modifications so testing center staff can implement them on test day.

  7. Which of the following is an example of an assistive technology accommodation for a CBT candidate with severe dyslexia?

    Text-to-speech software privately delivers audio of on-screen content, directly addressing the reading difficulties associated with dyslexia.
