Assessment accommodations

Assessment accommodations are adjustments or supports provided to individuals with disabilities or specific needs to ensure they have an equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. These modifications do not alter the fundamental nature of the assessment but help overcome barriers caused by a person’s disability, such as extra time to complete a test, a quiet environment, or use of assistive technology. The goal is to create a fair testing environment that accurately reflects a student's abilities without being hindered by their specific challenges.
