Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers research-based guidelines for deciding when test accommodations are appropriate for a student with disabilitiesdepending on the test being taken, the accommodations being considered, and the student's functional skills.
Trade ReviewTesting Accommodations for Students with Disabilities deserves a wide audience. It is both an accurate presentation of the state of testing accommodations as well as a vision for the future. Lovett and Lewandowski do a superb job of identifying the static and dynamic dots that, when connected, produce a picture of where we are and what could be. If you read only one book on educational or school psychology this year, you would be well served by choosing this one. * PsycCRITIQUES *
