Special Accommodations

The American Board of Wound Management (ABWM) complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and strives to ensure that no individual with a disability (as defined by the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment) is deprived of the opportunity to take the examination solely by reason of that disability. The ABWM will provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities.

Verification of the disability and a statement of the specific type of assistance needed must be made in writing to the ABWM at the time  of  application by  completing the Special Accommodations Request Form. The ABWM will review the submitted forms and will contact you regarding the decision for accommodations.

All requests and letters of verification will be kept confidential. Please contact the ABWM at (202) 457 8408 or info@abwmcertified.org with any questions.
