Special Arrangements for Candidates with Disabilities
HTCC and AMP comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and strive to
ensure that no individual with a disability, defined by the ADA as a person who has
a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life
activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person
who is perceived by others as having such an impairment, is deprived of the
opportunity to take the examination solely by reason of that disability. HTCC will
provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities.
If you require special accommodations in order to sit for the examination, you should contact the HTCC administrative office. You and your qualified health care provider will need to complete a form to document the disability and the need for accommodation. You must provide medical documentation of the disability that is less than five years old. This means that you must have a current evaluation from the appropriate provider. HTCC must receive this documentation no later than March 15th for the May exam and September 15th for the November exam. You must submit two forms with your application: the Candidate Form and the Provider Form.
These forms require you to provide the:
- Diagnosis and nature of the disability,
- Name of tests used to evaluate the condition and a summary of the positive findings that support the diagnosis of the disability
- Length of the condition
- Date the you were last seen
- What accommodation is suggested.
The forms should be sent to the HTCC administrative office. Each request will be
evaluated individually. Once the special accommodation has been approved, you
must call AMP at 888-519-9901 to schedule your examination. There is no
additional charge for special accommodations.
Please note: wheelchair access is available at all established Assessment Centers. Candidates must advise AMP at the time of scheduling that wheelchair access is necessary.
Please contact the HTCC office if you have any questions regarding special accommodations. HTCC wants to be sure that that candidates have the accommodations they need.
