La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § CXVII-309
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section CXVII-309 - Special PopulationsA. Assessments for special populations are administered with appropriate accommodations as specified by the publisher of the approved assessment. Test publisher accommodation guidelines for approved assessments are available on the Adult Education website www.louisianaschools.net. Accommodations for adult learners who self-disclose a disability documented by a qualified professional and are eligible for accommodations under the provisions of Section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may be granted appropriate testing accommodations. Adult Education programs must document that adult learners were given the opportunity to self-disclose any disability during the student orientation process.B. Accommodations for approved assessments will likely differ from accommodations for the GED test. There are four types of disabilities, learning and other cognitive disabilities, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, emotional/mental health or physical/chronic health disability, which are applicable to students registered for the GED test. Disabilities must be documented on the appropriate form, which is available from a GED chief examiner. Although a student may receive accommodations for assessments for placement or to measure growth by a local program, this does not guarantee or imply that the same accommodations will be appropriate or provided for the GED test.La.
