Accommodations Handbook

What are testing accommodations?

  • Testing accommodations are necessary practices and/or procedures which are intended to provide equitable access to the test for students with disabilities by limiting or eliminating the effects of a student’s disabilities on their performance.
  • Testing accommodations are provided to assist students with disabilities in demonstrating their true academic and intellectual abilities.
  • The provision of testing accommodations is not intended to reduce learning expectations.
