Advanced Training: Documenting Accommodation Needs in College and on High Stakes Tests
Conducting and reporting evaluations for students with disabilities who need accommodations in college or on high stakes tests raises unique considerations. Unlike testing that qualifies these clients for academic supports via IEP's or 504 Plans, colleges and national testing agency follow different rules. Two providers with years of experience in addressing these differences will offer guidance in the following areas:
Legal differences between IDEA and the ADA-AA regarding testing accommodations
How to explain these differences to clients and families
Effective intake practices
Collecting and reporting useful assessment information
Know your audience: Writing reports for clients, college disability providers, and testing agencies
How to help clients whose accommodations requests have been denied
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. Describe differences between IDEA and the ADA-AA relative to the role of accommodations.
2. Explain how to conduct an intake that explains legal differences in accommodations determinations while collecting useful input for the evaluation process.
3. Discuss effective ways to document the need for accommodations in a client with overall average to above-average ability who has not used accommodations in the past.
4. Demonstrate ways to respond to a high stakes testing agency’s denial letter.
