Learning Accommodation Reminders
At the beginning of the school year, universal accommodations were established for IEP/504 students that remain in effect until we return to regular, daily OCSA. Please see below:
- TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS: Any student with testing related accommodations will be given double-time within a class block and open notes/source to complete assessments.
- SETTING/BREAK ACCOMMODATIONS: Any students with setting or break related accommodations will be given the ability to take a screen break on the following ratio:
10 minutes for a 1-hour block
15 minutes for a 2-hour block class
- ASSIGNMENT-BASED ACCOMMODATIONS: Any student that has assignment-based accommodations will be given an additional timeline extension from the Friday, 4:15 pm submission day/time, and may submit work by the Monday following the Friday due date at 8:00 am without a grading penalty.
- TECHNOLOGY ASSISTANCE: Students will be provided SnapNRead (screen reader) and Co-writer (word prediction) screen accessibility tools upon request.
