Accommodations Overview

Users with permissions to do so can assign accommodations and accessibility features, such as text-to-speech (TTS), to students who require them.

Options for Assigning Accommodations

Depending on your user role, the following options are available:

• View/Add Accommodations for Student in Rostering
• View/Assign Accommodations in My Classes
• Update Accommodations for Multiple Students

Where to View Accommodations

View Accommodations for a Specific Student

Depending on your user access, you can view students and their accommodation assignments from these locations:

• Student Dashboard
• Rostering > Users
• Administration Card

View Accommodated Form Count

Users who have access to Administration Cards (can easily see if accommodated forms have been assigned by the presence of the pink 'A' icon on the Administration Card. Hovering over the icon displays a count of accommodated forms and clicking on the icon navigates the user to the Students view. The Students view shows a summary bar with a total for accommodated and regular forms. Hovering over sections of the bar details the type of accommodated form assigned. Clicking on a section of the bar filters the student list for that accommodated form. A ‘View by Form Type’ filter is also available to filter the student list.

There are two ways to reach the Student view:

• Test Management > Administrations > click pink Accommodated icon 
• Test Management > Administrations > Students > View

Considerations for Enabling and Assigning Accommodations

• Will the students be testing in TestNav or AD Player?
• Does the test content support the accommodation? (e.g., don't assign closed captioning if there is not a form with closed caption videos, etc.)
• The hierarchy of forms if using multiple accommodated forms.
• Which accommodation profile the test is tagged to (for example, some subjects may make TTS available to all students in which case there is no need to assign an accommodation versus others in which only specific students can be assigned). 
• Are/should any accommodations be set up to require approval?
