Is it permissible to simplify questions when State assessments are being read?
No. This is not permissible on State assessments, as it would invalidate the examination. However, on teacher-made tests or quizzes the teacher can make a determination as to whether and the extent to which any clarification may be provided without compromising test validity. Only clarification or simplification of directions is permitted on State assessments when required by the IEP/504 Plan .
