[Athen] Placement Test and Screen Reader Software

[Robert Beach]

I have completed the sentence skills and reading skills portions of Accuplacer using JAWS.  I have had several students do the same.  The math portion is not accessible to a screen reader.  I have not tried any of the ESL portions.

Read&Write would also work for students needing that support.

Hello: In an effort to eliminate/reduce use of human readers on Placement Tests, I wanted to know if any of your schools use the Accuplacer test. If so, what screen reader software have you found to be compatible with it?

Thank you in advance,

Karen
