What test accommodations and modifications are allowable for Special Education Students?

In order to obtain a valid score, Reading/Language Usage questions cannot be read to any student, including English Language Learners (ELL) and students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP). If a student’s Individual Education Plan strictly requires that the student can have all questions read to them on any type of assessment, the proctor should invalidate the test by submitting a Delete Test Event Data Repair Request (DRR). NWEA recommends submitting the DRR after the Individual Student Progress Report has been downloaded/printed for test tracking purposes. With the Science and Math tests, students with an IEP may have the test read to them without invalidation. For all students, specific words may be pronounced for them on the Science and Math tests only, but proctors must be careful not to inadvertently guide students to the correct answer. Numbers and symbols cannot be pronounced.
