[quote=Anonymous]It’s a reasonable accommodation, one I’ve seen many times for various steps. Just a suggestion it might go over better though if you come up with a plan or example yourself with the help of the teacher before you present it during the IEP meeting. It’s not terrible time consuming to make such a list but you want to make sure you only put things that are necessary and find a way to fade it out and have that grading procedure written into the IEP as well.

I’d stick to a list that can be completed in the same order each time and if possible can be utilized at home and school for homework/lessons as well as tests. If they are missing the basics on tests then they probably need more access to this “accommodation” than just for tests. I’d do this more for the fact that you can help teach it in a way where the checklist can be faded out over a period of time and acts as a bridge rather than a crutch.

IME too many accommodations are written in but rarely correctly written out as well. You want to keep up with utilizing accommodations as teaching tools as next year there will likely be something else that needs extra attention and might need more attention. Don’t just put it in for tests with the expectation that it will still be there in 5 years.[/quote]
