(a) The Board recognizes its responsibilities under
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide appropriate
and effective accommodations, including auxiliary aids, to qualified
examination applicants with disabilities. However, the Board will
not fundamentally alter the measurement of the skills or knowledge
the examination is intended to test.
(b) The Board recognizes its responsibility to accommodate
the identified needs of qualified individuals with disabilities by
making reasonable modifications and/or providing auxiliary aids. This
does not mean that all requests for accommodation, and/or auxiliary
aids will be granted, or that the applicant will receive the particular
accommodations or services sought at every testing center. The Board
is not required to grant the request if doing so would fundamentally
alter the measurement of the skills or knowledge the examination is
intended to test, or would create an undue financial or administrative
burden.
