Subject: Justice Department Issues Technical Assistance on Testing
Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities Who Take Standardized
Exams And High-Stakes Tests
To: ron at ahead.org


The Justice Department issued technical assistance today on the obligation
of testing entities, both private and public, to ensure that the test
scores of individuals with disabilities accurately reflect the individual's
aptitude, achievement, or the skill that the exam purports to measure,
rather than his or her disability. The document discusses who is entitled
to testing accommodations, what types of testing accommodations must be
provided, and what documentation may be required of the person requesting
testing accommodations. The document also discusses prohibited flagging
policies and how test scores for test-takers receiving disability-related
accommodations should be reported.
