<p class="MsoNormal">Hi ATHEN,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What kind of accommodations or AT have you put in place for spelling? Here are the details of the scenario:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students travel through stations in a cadaver lab, and recall and spell anatomical parts correctly<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">These classes have correct spelling of medical words as a course competency; therefore, an accommodation cannot be to not penalize for spelling errors.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Access to spellcheck on a tablet would be challenging, as we are unsure how to block access to other apps or other sources of information on that tablet<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Instructors are concerned that handheld spellcheck devices such as the Spellex PocketMed Spell Checker give unfair advantages when recall is required, as a student can type in the
first few letters of a word and have the correctly spelled word or list of words come up on the screen<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Dictating their answers through something like Dragon Medical would likely not work when other students are present in the lab and can overhear<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Due to time, staffing, and space limitations, students requiring spelling accommodations cannot test alone separately from the rest of the students<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help you can provide will be much appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
