The Written Knowledge Test

The Bureau of Motor Vehicles can provide accommodations for the written test. A student or their representative must present that request in advance in person at the local BMV office. The BMV will then schedule an appointment for the test with the needed accommodation. 

Some examples are having the test read aloud, taking a paper test rather than a computer test, or taking the test in a quiet room. The BMV also provides testing in American Sign Language for the Deaf through a program initiated by Easterseals Crossroads. 

All states are required to do a survey of students one year after they leave high school. One year after you leave school, you could be contacted to complete a survey about your current work and education status at the time of the survey. Your responses are important. The Office of Special Education uses this information to help your school corporation make changes that will help students with disabilities be better prepared for life after leaving high school. Not all school corporations or students are chosen to participate in the survey each year. If you are chosen to participate, you will receive a post card (similar to the one below) next year reminding you that a survey will be coming in the mail! Any questions regarding this survey can be directed to the Special Education mailbox at specialeducation@doe.in.gov.
