Do students with disabilities still get the accommodations specified on their IEP for the NYSESLAT?
A. All LEP students with disabilities should be allowed the testing accommodations specified in their Individualized Education Program (IEP). However, two testing accommodations are not permitted for any LEP student because they would interfere with the measurement of the construct of that session of the test: Session 2Reading may not be read to any student. For Session 3Writing, students may not receive assistance nor have their responses corrected for spelling, grammar, paragraphing, or punctuation. Students who have been declassified may continue to be provided with testing accommodations if the local CSE recommended the accommodations at the time of declassification and included them in the students declassification IEP.
