When students with hearing impairments seek accommodations on standardized tests such as those needed to enter graduate school or gain professional licensure, they sometimes find their requests questioned or even denied. As a disability services provider, you're in a good position to help students understand why that is, and guide them in requesting accommodations that make sense and have a good likelihood of being granted to ensure they have an equal opportunity to succeed in these critical exams.
