An applicant scheduled to take the TAPAS discloses a diagnosed reading disability and requests an accommodation. According to the principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and standard testing practices, what is the most appropriate initial action for the test administrator?
-
A
Administer the test without accommodation, as TAPAS is a non-cognitive assessment.
-
B
Immediately grant the request and have a proctor read the questions aloud.
-
C
Consult official guidance and the appropriate authority to determine if a documented and approved accommodation is permissible.
-
D
Disqualify the candidate from testing, as standardized administration cannot be altered.
