NCEO - Synthesis Report 18 - A Compilation of States' Guidelines for Accommodations in Assessments for Students with Disabilities

2010

The purpose of this document is to provide an updated listing of the states' written guidelines on accommodations, modifications, and adaptations of assessments for students with disabilities. States without guidelines in the original report (Thurlow et al., 1993), or with guidelines older than 1991, were contacted via telephone, and requests made for their most recent written guidelines. Guidelines currently in use were provided by 38 states. Of those not providing currently used guidelines, seven did not have state assessments (thus, no need for guidelines), and five states did not have written guidelines on accommodations even though they had assessments.
