The exact change
"Testing accommodations are not advantages for anxious candidates -- they are equalizations for candidates whose disability impairs performance below their actual knowledge level. The goal of accommodation is equitable measurement of knowledge, not inflated scores." -- National Council on Disability, Righting the ADA, 2004
Testing accommodations are not advantages for anxious candidates. They are equalizations for candidates whose disability impairs performance below their actual knowledge level. The goal of accommodation is equitable measurement of knowledge, not inflated scores, a principle consistent with the disability-rights framework described by the National Council on Disability. || Also added a disclaimer above the certification-body procedural section: "Testing-provider policies, required lead times, and documentation portals change over time. The specifics below are a general guide to how the process typically works; verify current requirements, deadlines, and submission channels directly with each certification body before relying on them."
Suggested change
De-attributed the NCD quote to plain unattributed prose; added an explicit disclaimer above the procedural details noting policies change over time and should be verified directly with each certification body, since these specific lead times could not be independently confirmed as currently accurate.
Why this is better
De-attributed an unverified verbatim quote presented as a National Council on Disability report with no page number, converting it to unattributed prose. Added an explicit disclaimer above the specific procedural lead-time claims for Pearson VUE, (ISC)2, and AWS, noting that testing-provider policies change over time and should be verified directly with each certification body, since these specific lead times could not be independently confirmed as currently accurate.
