[blindlaw] LSAC questions

[Tai Tomasi]

Are you sure you can't call accommodated testing? When I was working with
LSAC, they had a number on the application for accommodations and you could
call and speak with someone. If you can't find it, call the main number and
ask to be connected. There should be someone there who can advise you.

The last time I tried LSDAS for apps, it was not accessible with Jaws. I am
going to have a reader help me with the online apps through LSAC.

I too am applying to law school for next year. Where are you applying?

Hi Everyone,
I'm scheduled to take the LSAT on September 29th and recently learned from a
friend that I'm entitled to some practice hours with my reader.  When I
asked LSAC about this I was told that I couldn't get the practice hours
because my accomidations had already been aproved. 
I am unable to actually speak to anyone in accomidated testing, because they
only communicate via fax and email.  Emails to them asking about practice
hours have produced no answers.  
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions about ways I might be able to
get these hours?  LSAC have been extremely difficult to deal with and I was
absolutely amazed by the amount of documentation required just to prove the
fact that I am blind.  
Also, can anyone tell me how accessible LSDAS is? Will I have problems with
jaws and the applications?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you might be able to give. 
Olivia
