If a candidate has a disability that could keep him/her from taking the GED Tests in the way they are usually administered, the candidate may be entitled to receive reasonable testing accommodations.

Accommodations are available for people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or psychological disabilities.

Accommodations may include audiocassette edition, Braille or large-print editions, vision-enhancing technologies, use of video equipment, use of sign-language interpreter, use of scribe, extended time/supervised extra breaks or use of a private room.

Verification of documented disabilities must occur before a GED candidate can be given accommodations during testing. Contact JCCC Testing Services at 913-469-4439 or come to the Student Center, SC 334, to obtain the forms for requesting testing accommodations and information about completing the forms. All forms must be completed and returned to the Chief Examiner of Testing Services before they are submitted for review.
