Accommodations for Secondary Learning Disabled/Mainstreamed Students on Teacher-Made Tests.
Williams, Jane M.
Suggested accommodations for mainstreamed secondary learning disabled students on teacher made tests are presented. Suggestions are grouped into general; format; and test taking modifications (presentation, recording, and scoring). Among the many suggestions made are the following: watch readability of questions; assure test is clearly printed; provide tests on which to write rather than Scantron or answer sheets, present tests orally to students with reading problems; permit use of computational aids for mathematics exams; and consider alternatives to standard grading procedures. A chart is also included which compares classroom behaviors exhibited by students, their effect on test performance, and appropriate test accommodations. Classroom behaviors, test performance, and appropriate test accommodations are identified for each of the following categories: students with auditory problems, students with verbal expression problems, students with visual perception problems, students with written expression problems, students with fine motor problems, and students with organizational problems.
