I don't know the details of the settlement agreement between ETS and the DOJ
regarding this issue but when I investigated taking the GRE for grad school
the only accommodation ETS would allow me was a reader to read the computer
screen to me. I ended up attending Library School at my alma mater, as the
admissions people had my transcripts to review and the program did not
require GRE scores for entrance to the program.
