The Council for Exceptional Children . A common accommodation is to administer the test in several sessions over several days. For example, a teacher may give one subtest on Monday and another on Tues- day, rather than giving it in its entirety on Monday. Or, the teacher may give the test on a specific day.
Procedure Review a calendar to determine the schedule for the test.
The key is to meet the student's needs while not significantly interrupting the sequence of the test. A reasonable place to stop an assessment for the day is at the end of a subtest. Some experts caution against interrupting a subtest at all, so it is wise to check with your district before providing that as an option. Share the schedule with the student and his or her family. Cautions A student who must take a test over several days may experience a decline in motivation.
