Can a student with a disability have a notetaker available who takes notes for the student during the listening section of a State examination?
No. A note taker cannot take notes for the student but the student can have a scribe to record what the student dictates. In this case, the listening section would be read in sections permitting the student time to pause to turn to the scribe and dictate the notes to be written down by the scribe. Spelling would not have to be provided. If a scribe is used in this manner, documentation in the IEP/504 Plan should state use of scribe for writing notes as dictated by the student.
