[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s correct (I’m a counselor). The rules are different. We had to create separate accommodation lists for PARCC.[/quote]

PP can you explain why they would be different. My 4th grade son with an IEP is soon to take the PARC and I’m not sure if I should worry. I also have a HS daughter with a 504 so I’m going to have to ask her about her experience. [/quote]
PP (not the counselor)
Part of the reason that there are different accommodations is that the test is designed using "Universal Design for Learning" principles and that electronic tools are available to all students to help them access the information. For example, students can use an audio text reader, so IEP students with a "read to" accommodation don't need a human reader. Things like the setting and timing accommodations are set by the state (I think) and I don't have a reference handy for that information. But, https://parcc.pearson.com/manuals/ has far more information than you really want about test design in the Accessibility Features and Accommodations Manual (AF&A).[/quote]
