As we have progressed in education, so has our methods in evaluating an individual's understanding of the curriculum. Some students may have a difficult time with producing the same results with the standard assessment models.
Here are some common modifications used to see if your student understands the information that has been presented to them.
1. Reduce the number of questions or problems assigned to the student.
2. Highlight key words, phrases or sentences for the student to read.
3. Remove workbook pages and present them to the student to reduce their anxiety.
4. Read tests/quizzes aloud.
5. Rearrange information and/or problems on a page (for example - create more space when needed in math)
6. Rewrite directions at a more accessible level
7. Allow additional time to take tests
8. Use graph paper for math - developmentally appropriate writing paper for handwritten assignments
9. Tape record directions
10. Have peers give directions or paraphrase explanations
