Objectives Guiding Principles Case Studies Glossary Descriptions Reading the test verbally to the student is one of the most common accommodations. The test is recorded on audio cassette. In this case, the student may listen in the regular testing room with the aid of headphones or listen in a separate setting with no headphones.
Some states provide tests recorded on audiotape.
The computer provides the test in verbal form. If the test is available from the state or a test publisher in audio format, be sure to check the tape prior to the testing time to ensure that the correct information is on the tape, this means that what is on the tape matches the written materials. Also check to ensure that the quality of the recording is adequate. Be sure to have a backup tape. If necessary, check pronunciations, especially with regard to technical terms or names.
