Testing Accommodations for Individuals

As the Exclusive Licensee of ACTFL Assessments, LTI is committed to fostering inclusive access to ACTFL assessments for all candidates by providing reasonable accommodations appropriate to each individual’s unique abilities and needs. As of January, 2025, the OPIc and WPT are fully compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements. All other ACTFL assessments are being upgraded to meet those requirements throughout 2025.

Additionally, test accommodations requests are handled on a case-by case basis in order to provide personalized solutions that make ACTFL assessments accessible to candidates with diverse needs.

How To Request Accommodations

You must first order the test and then submit your request for testing accommodations. Requests should be submitted as early as possible since up to 10 business days (excluding weekends and US holidays) are required for processing once they are received.

In some cases, additional time may be required while requests and documentation are reviewed and the appropriate accommodations enabled for each test.

Submit your accommodations request through this secure online form. Please be prepared to provide the following details when submitting your request:

the type of assessment(s) being taken and the preferred test date,
the type of accommodation(s) being requested, (please refer to the list above),
a list of any devices that may be needed to help with the accommodation process. LTI is not responsible for providing those devices,
a detailed explanation of any other accommodations that are requested and not listed here.

You will receive an email from accommodations@languagetesting.com either confirming the accommodations request or letting you know the request cannot be met for some reason.
