Activity (20 points)

Looking at the Testing Accommodations Manual (2017) that I shared, discuss which of the test accommodations might be needed for a student with a disability in the area of Specific Learning Disability:  Reading Comprehension.  List the accommodation and then rationalize why you selected that accommodation.

 

Specific Learning Disability:  Reading Comprehension

Accommodation # – Why is it needed? (the specific accommodations are found on pages 17-30)

#21 (Scheduled Rest Breaks) Little Johnny struggles to read and comprehend.  It is very helpful if he reads for short periods of time (generally about 30 minutes) and then takes a quick rest break before continuing on (the rest break may allow him to get up and move around or get a drink of water) .
