Apply for Testing Accommodations
American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) provides reasonable testing accommodations in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under the ADA, a disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Having a diagnosed impairment does not necessarily mean that an individual is disabled as defined by the ADA, and not all disabilities require test accommodations.
Test accommodations are adjustments or modifications of standard testing conditions designed to allow candidates with disabilities to take the examination without compromising its validity, 为残疾候选人提供不公平的优势，或对医疗服务管理系统施加不适当的负担.
If you are an Applicant seeking accommodation, you must submit, along with your completed application:
- An original letter, 日期在过去五年内，并以官方信笺打印, 由专门研究残疾的合格医生或健康提供者提供. This letter must document the disability and its severity, describe the applicant’s limitation due to the disability, and state exactly what accommodations are recommended. 该信函必须包含原始签名和医生或卫生专业人员的证书;
- An original, current, detailed, comprehensive medical evaluation/ report of the diagnosed disability from the physician or health professional, dated within the past five years; and
- A completed ARDMS Special Accommodations Questionnaire which must be submitted each time you apply for examination.
Review of applications containing a request to receive ADA accommodations may require an additional 30 days to be completed.
Documentation submitted by an applicant in support of a request is reviewed by ARDMS and may be forwarded to an independent medical expert for impartial professional review.
ARDMS可能要求额外的文档来支持该请求. 所有的信息将被保密，并将仅用于确定什么, if any, test accommodations will be made.
批准的住宿将包括在考试确认函中, sent to you via email and also available through MY ARDMS 帐户，在“申请中心”选项卡下的“我的考试/申请状态”下找到. The email will include the test vendor’s telephone number and you should call the test vendor to schedule an examination appointment with the approved accommodations.
