Test Accommodation Discussion
Kentucky is out of alignment with national guidance (i.e., allowing readers on the reading test and extended time for all).
The Kentucky Board of Education has reviewed the Inclusion regulation (703 KAR 5:070) which defines testing accommodations.
19
Test Accommodation Discussion
Regulation revisions will not require change to student IEP for the classroom, but will restrict which classroom practices may be used in testing.
Recommended changes include: Students with Disabilities remove readers on the reading testprohibit prompting/cueing remove calculators on non-calculator portion of
tests
Limited English Proficient/English Learners remove assistive technology and student-
generated glossariesprohibit prompting/cueing
