If an applicant has a documented disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) and requires test accommodations, the applicant must notify AHIMA in writing each time accommodation is required.

The applicant must personally submit a Request for Accommodation application form and documentation along with the AHIMA examination application to [email protected]. The materials must be received by the normal application closing date.

• The application should indicate the nature of the disability and the specific test accommodations needed.
• Documentation must be provided by a licensed or otherwise properly credentialed professional who has undergone appropriate and comprehensive training, has relevant experience and has no familial relationship with the individual being evaluated. The individual making the diagnosis must be qualified to do so (e.g., an orthopedic limitation might be documented by a physician, but not a licensed psychologist).
• Requests made by a third party (such as an evaluator, employer, etc.) will not be considered.

Applicants will be notified via email within 14 business days. For questions regarding the ADA process please contact us.
