Testing Accommodations for Students With Disabilities cover

Deciding whether to grant test accommodations for a student with disabilities can be challenging. Benjamin J. Lovett and Lawrence J. Lewandowski’s research-based guidelines offer a scientific approach to deciding when accommodations are appropriate, depending on the student’s functional skills, the test being taken, and the accommodations being considered.

Readers will learn how laws and practices differ for K-12, postsecondary, and workplace accommodations. Most important, they will learn to make effective decisions through research-based training in accommodations. Case studies provide a practical view of how the guidelines apply in various scenarios.

Testing 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 *
