Extended test time is the most commonly requested and granted test accommodation among college students with learning disabilities — whether it's in the classroom, on national boards, for professional exams, or for academic admissions.

When making your decision regarding extended time, you must evaluate faculty reluctance, the program's essential requirements, documentation, an evaluator's findings, legal trends, the cost of implementing accommodations, and many other issues.

In this 90-minute taped audio conference, Nicole Ofiesh will help you make better decisions about test accommodations, specifically extended time, by giving you current research and trends. You'll learn about the diverse student population in classrooms today, and also gain greater awareness of how timing decisions should be thought through in test development.

You'll receive guidance such as:

• What information you should use — besides diagnostic test scores — to make your decisions
• How to consider the role of the student's accommodations history, special education, intervention, and expert testimony by teachers or specialists in your decisions
• Determine what you need to know about a test to determine whether the request is "reasonable."
