Full Description
Deciding whether to grant test accommodations for a student with disabilities can be challenging. Benjamin J. Lovett and Lawrence J. Lewandowski amp rsquo s research-based guidelines offer a scientific approach to deciding when accommodations are appropriate, depending on the student amp rsquo s functional skills, the test being taken, and the accommodations being considered.
Readers will learn how laws and practices differ for K- 2, postsecondary, and workplace accommodations. Most important, they will learn to make effective decisions through research-based training in accommodations. Case studies provide a practical view of how the guidelines apply in various scenarios.
