[acb-hsp] Testing and Assessments was, Re: [leadership] FW: Question

[J.Rayl]

    Hello:  Well, as so often happens with this kind of question, i have no 
clue to whom to return it so here goes:
I took these assessments years, and I do mean years ago, at our 
Rehabilitation Center in West Virginia.  They were, for the most part, 
accessible then.  I am quite surprised by this question.
The block design was, for example, covered by various textures of fabric 
enabling the person who was blind to complete the assessment tactilely in 
the same way the person who is sighted completed it.
The alphabet cards were done in braille / large print.
Other parts were done verbally, etc.
I really don't know who one could contact, other than the manufacturer of 
the assessment itself, and ask about the accessible test.  Now, it may well 
be that someone actually sat and modified the test--who knows.  This was in 
the late '70's / early 80's.
What I do know is, one cannot administer an inaccessible assessment so you'd 
do well (your ethical codes forbid this) so you'd do well to find out where, 
or who, has the accessible version, and I'd start with the test's 
manufacturer.
Hope that helps.
