What are appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities?
Permissible accommodations related to test administrator procedures include the use of eyeglasses or magnifying glasses, earplugs, color overlays, or rulers. Testing environment accommodations might include frequent breaks or individual administrations. It is not an appropriate accommodation for someone to read the test questions to an examinee with sight impairment, as BEST Literacy is a test of reading, not listening. For more information regarding test accommodations for students with disabilities, please see pages 9 and 10 of the BEST Literacy Test Manual (June 2008).
