I need one...what do you do to get it? Pass a written test?

Situation: I'm disabled, have a drivers eval (figures out what adaptations youll need, then lets you drive) scheduled for june 19, but need a permit by then.

you really shouldn't
I'm not too sure how your disability would affect you tho.

Just take the written test.. and I believe you can take the drivers test right away.

if you don't mind me asking what kind of disability is it ?
maybe you can even get one of those permits that let you park in the blue spaces.

The written tests at the DMV are usually multiple choice on a computer screen. The DMV is always packed with a ton of people, you might have trouble navigating around people in your chair so go early and good luck :).

The only point I was actually trying to make is that the "written test" are computerized.

Edit
Damn... I better stop posting all this misinformation :(.
