For students with AD/HD, what accommodations should be applied and when should the accommodations be used?
Students with AD/HD should accommodations for any TABE tests, classroom instruction, and the official GED Practice Test and GED Tests. Usually, a student with AD/HD will benefit from distraction-free testing and teaching (private room for testing), frequent breaks, and extra time to complete tasks. It may also be helpful to take only one test per day for GED testing, and some students with AD/HD need to take tests using audiocassette formats. Every adult education center should already have a copy of the TABE tests on tape and the GED Practice Test on tape. The need for accommodations (and what works best) should be determined on an individual basis.
