Non-Discrimination Policy for Individuals with Disabilities

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, and other applicable laws in the United States, the ESPCC does not discriminate against individuals with disabilities in providing access to the CESP Credential. The ESPCC provides reasonable and appropriate accommodations for individuals with documented disabilities who request and demonstrate the need for accommodation. The ADA and accompanying regulations define a person with a disability as someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. The purpose of documentation is to validate the applicant is covered under the ADA and applicable laws. Comprehensive information by a qualified professional is necessary to allow the ESPCC requires documentation to validate the type and severity of a disability and the resulting functional impairment that limits access to its examinations. Documentation also allows the ESPCC provide appropriate accommodations for such a disability in order to provide equal access to exam functions for all examinees. No applicant shall be offered an accommodation that would compromise the CESP™ examination’s ability to test accurately the skills and knowledge it purports to measure. Similar, no auxiliary aid or service will be provided that will fundamentally alter the examination.

The ESPCC will provide reasonable accommodations for test candidates with disabilities that are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ESPCC reserves the right to review any request for accommodations and have requests considered by its own experts to ensure an appropriate level of accommodations and protect the integrity of the examination and credential.
