Yes. CSC may need to make accommodations to make sure that exams measure a person’s actual ability to do the job instead of reflecting limitations caused by a disability. When testing people who have sensory, speaking, or manual impairments, CSC should use a format that does not require the use of the impaired skill unless it is a job-related skill that the test is designed to measure.
