Drawn for this page. A score can only measure the skill it is meant to if the student could see, hear and write well enough to show it.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with the student’s code and the testing date.
  2. Enter the last vision and hearing screenings and their results.
  3. Note devices and whether they were worn and working.
  4. Note fine motor, positioning, fatigue and accommodations.
  5. Copy the report sentence into the evaluation and adjust it.

Reading results fairly

Why it matters

IDEA requires that a test given to a student with impaired sensory, manual or speaking skills measures the aptitude or achievement it is meant to, not the impairment. A student who could not see the items clearly or write fast enough may score low for reasons that have nothing to do with the skill.

Accommodations and norms

Some changes, such as extra time on a timed task or a scribe, depart from standard administration. Check the test manual and say in the report which scores are affected.

What this is not

A vision or hearing screening. Screenings are done by trained staff with proper equipment.
