Assessing students with learning and
other disabilities/special needs
Taylor, L., & Chen, N. N. (2016).
Why it matters
- Ethics & equal access in education
- More learners with disabilities learning L2
- Physical (visual, hearing) + cognitive (dyslexia, Down syndrome)
- Modification: may change the construct (Fleurquin 2008)
- Accommodation: tools for equitable access
- Broad view: any departure from protocol, incl. ELLs (Koenig & Bachman 2004)
History
- Ad hoc → systematic provision
