If a disability or impairment limits major life activities, a request for special needs accommodation can be submitted in writing to the CAMRT. All requests will be handled on a confidential and individual basis.

Candidates must submit their written request to the CAMRT Coordinator of Certification with their application to write the exam. The following documentation must also be included with the application form:

• a clear statement of the nature of the disability and its severity;
• description of the special needs accommodations requested;
• supporting documentation indicating that similar accommodation was given to the candidate during their education program
• supporting documentation (which will be kept confidential by CAMRT) from a healthcare or counseling professional that
• indicates an assessment was done on the candidate
• describes details of the disability including a diagnosis 
• describes the candidate’s current functional limitation
• supports the request for special needs accommodation.

Granting the accommodation request must not compromise the validity and integrity of the certification exam.

CAMRT will notify the contact person at the provincial association administering the exam immediately following receipt of a potential special needs accommodation describing the details of the request. Following collaboration with the candidate regarding the request, CAMRT will confirm the decision in writing with the candidate and the provincial association.
