1 Know your rights

As an individual with a disability, you have the right to request reasonable accommodations for job readiness assessments. This means that the employer or the test provider must make adjustments or modifications to the test format, content, or environment to ensure that you have an equal opportunity to demonstrate your skills and abilities. For example, you may request extra time, a different mode of delivery, a sign language interpreter, or a screen reader. To request accommodations, you need to provide documentation of your disability and the specific needs that you have. You should also contact the employer or the test provider well in advance to discuss and arrange the accommodations.
