[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PARCC has different rules about accommodations than what is specified in an IEP for general education access. You may want to ask what accommodations are specified for your child in the PARCC.[/quote] A test is a test. I don't know why Maryland / MCPS thinks a child needs an accommodation for classroom assessments but he/she won't need it for the PARCC. For example: why do only kids with dyslexia get a read to accommodation for PARCC when this accommodation might be needed for other disabilities as well? Behind the scenes it's a funding issue that the Federal government should be looking into. The read to accommodation on the PARCC drives up the cost for that particular test so they only have enough access for a specified percentage of the testing group. Funding should never be driving the discussion of whether or not a child needs an accommodation or services but that is the reality of how Maryland / MCPS treats kids.[/quote]
