FSA Information and Updates

Testing is here. Please be sure that students have experience with each training test prior to taking the actual test, whether they are taking a paper-based version (braille or large print) or a computer-based version.
The computer-based FSA Writing now has a text-to-speech option. However, utilizing this feature requires the individual to press a button in order for the text to be read out loud. Navigation is not accessible using this feature.
Popular screen magnification programs, such as ZoomText and Magic can now be used within the secure browser.
