<div>The thesaurus is enabled though, because it is integrated with spell check. Perhaps a conversation can be made with the professor to determine what is unreasonable about using a thesaurus as an accommodation? </div>

<div>As a last resort, go even more old school. Give the student Wordpad with a Bedford Handbook of Grammar and a 19th century blue-backed speller. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have students with testing accommodations where some are given the use of a computer with Microsoft Word and all its features, some can use a computer with spell/grammar checker only but not Word because it would provide more features
to the student, other students are only provided the use of a basic word processor without spell/grammar checker. On the idea of Docpad or Wordpad.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am wondering how you accommodate students that have the use of a computer with spell/grammar checker but don’t want them having access to a thesaurus or dictionary. I can’t have them use Microsoft Word because there are too many features
and they can’t use DocPad because there are not enough features. What are you having students use?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your input</p>
