Testing Accommodations

The IEP team will need to determine if it will be necessary to have testing accommodations specifically related to the AT recommended. The IEP team will need to consider:

  •   How the student will take State assessments?
  •   Will the student need to record responses in any manner?
  •   Will the student require alternative assessment?
  •   Will the student require flexible scheduling? 
  •  Will the student require an alternative test format?
