What if I have a student that breaks their dominant arm or injures their wrist before they are scheduled to test and cannot type or write? Can they have accommodations?
Students with a Temporary Physical Disability Resulting from an Illness or Injury Districts must complete the Accommodation Request Form and attach substantiating documentation signed by a licensed medical doctor (MD or DO) on official medical
- stationary. The accommodation(s) requested must be appropriate to the type of temporary
disability that resulted from the injury or illness (i.e. scribe) Document this information in the Student Profile for the assessment. (Refer to the MAAP Test Coordinator Manual.) Since the Office of Student Assessment (OSA) must approve the specific accommodation(s) for a student, it is recommended that the district use the OSA approval for official documentation.
