Evidence for Education brief, Assessment and Accommodations

We are pleased to send you our latest Evidence for Education brief,
Assessment and Accommodations. If you are involved in teaching or assessing
students with disabilities, then this publication is for you!

Assessment and Accommodations examines what the research has to say about
providing students with disabilities with accommodations that support
learning as well as their ability to show what they know and can do. We have
included multiple examples of accommodations, guidelines to help IEP teams
decide what accommodations a student needs, connections to Federal guidance
and requirements on this important topic, and links that will help you
identify what accommodation policies your state has adopted to guide
participation of children with disabilities in large-scale assessments.
