Student IEPs and 504 PlansStudent testing accommodations for CBT do not align word-for-word to testing accommodations noted in a student’s IEP or 504 Plan:The CSE must determine the best way to deliver a student testing accommodation in CBTThe student must have practice with the CBT test accommodation prior to testingIn some instances, a combination of computer-format and paper-format is the best fit We recommend that the school with help from the CSE try to match a student’s daily instruction for delivering a test accommodation DRAFT 7

Use of a Scribe & CBTThe process for “use of scribe” when a student is testing on computer is similar to the paper-based testing process: Student tests on computer with a Test Read CBT accommodation and responds verbally to the scribe:Scribe writes the response on paper and has the student confirm the response is correctScribe transfers the response to computer DRAFT 12
