Hi, again. I found two articles on the web that would be of interest to you. "The law after high school" by Patricia H. Latham and "A Dyslexic law student's story"
The second one is on this website. I think your wife is protected under the ADA AM DIsabilities Act. Good luck

YES! It is a federal law that she receive testing assistance. All she needs is to contact the testing officials and give them proof of her disability. Yes, it is a disability and accommodations must be made under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Proof of her disability would include a copy of her last IEP or a physician's statement. We are in Oklahoma so I'm not sure about the state regulations. Contact the licensing board and they should be able to help. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I'll try to help further.
