In The News – LSAT Discrimination

December 15, 2011 in Featured, Special Needs News by Julia Roberts

This is an interesting article about the accommodations that were (allegedly) denied for people taking the LSAT.

The Law School Admission Council is no stranger to litigation over its testing policies. The organization has been sued numerous times by would-be takers of the Law School Admission Test who were denied accommodations for what they claimed were disabilities.

Now the American Bar Association’s Commission on Disability Rights has asked the council to change the way it handles requests for testing accommodations, to “ensure that the exam reflects what the exam is designed to measure, and not the test taker’s disability.”

I completely understand…because, let’s face it, the kids health surrounds everything we do. As far as lessons, well, a lot of it we just make up as we go along.

I kind of feel weird saying that I loved this post since so much of it was about your kids fragile health … but I did. A lot of people could take lessons from you guys.
