Hello everyone,

I have a student with a visually impaired disability who is trying to get help from PearsonVue for some accommodations. He requested accommodations through PearsonVue two weeks before his exam date, but never head back from them. During his exam using OnVUE, he had difficulty reading content on his screen, but was not able to use the magnifying glass feature to help see the images. He was also instructed to keep his face away from the screen by the online proctor so because his entire face was not visible when he moved very close to see the images.

Does anyone know what accommodations are available for visually impaired test takers? Or does anyone have any suggested strategies to better see the images on the screen during the exam using the OnVUE software?

Thanks.
