Hidden Disabilities
Common Accomodations for Hidden Disabilities
- Extended time on tests.
- Instead of testing how fast a student can process information, extended time (twice the usual amount of time for examinations - 100% or 50% extra time) provides a more representative outcome of the student’s knowledge, thinking ability, and expression.
- Quiet room for testing.
- Many students may need a quiet room, free of distractions in which to take their examinations.
- Notetakers in class.
- Many students cannot process information while taking notes at the same time.
