Modifications in Statewide Criterion-Referenced Testing Programs to Accommodate Pupils with Disabilities.

Siskind, Theresa G.

Diagnostique, v18 n3 p233-49 Spr 1993

This survey on modifications allowed for students with disabilities by 30 states in statewide criterion-referenced testing programs found no universal agreement about modifications. Accommodations in Test Setting and Test Scheduling were more frequently allowed than revisions in Test Directions or Test Format. Assistance devices and accommodations to answer mode were also permitted. (Author/JDD)
