Critical Information About Accommodations for Students With
Disabilities
CRITICAL INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Applies to:
• STAAR• STAAR Modified• STAAR L• TELPAS
A disability limits a student’s activity or restricts a student’s participation during classroom instruction and testing
Students who need accommodations due to a disability include:
• A student with an identified disability who receives special education services
•A student with an identified disability who receives Section 504 services
• A student with a disabling condition who does not receive special education or Section 504 services but who meets established eligibility criteria for certain accommodations
Routinely, Independently, and Effectively
Routinely• Used often enough that student is familiar and
comfortable using accommodation on a statewide assessment
• Not necessarily used every day
Independently• Only applicable to some accommodations (e.g.,
applies to use of a calculator but not to an oral administration)
Effectively• Accommodation meets student needs as evidenced
by scores and observations with or without accommodation use
