The College Board on Thursday announced a new process for people with disabilities to request test accommodations. Under the new system, most students who have been approved for test accommodations in high school will receive accommodations as long as their high school can answer two questions in the affirmative: “Is the requested accommodation(s) in the student’s plan?” and “Has the student used the accommodation(s) for school testing?”
Many advocates for students with disabilities have complained in the past that such students should not have to go through an entire process when they have already done so in high school (and in many cases before that). The changes announced are among those such advocates have sought.
The new policy applies to a number of College Board tests, including the SAT and Advanced Placement exams.
