ADHD/ELA question
If you had a student with ADHD & they had a 504 plan that spelled out they needed extra time on tests and/or prompts,
can you do it for the ELA tests?
I was told by someone that they cannot.

Yup, if it is written on the 504- they must by law get those accommodations. A 504 is a legal document that must be followed.

Absolutely!
If the regular classroom teacher was not the proctor of the exam, written instructions should have been given to the proctor and kept with all testing materials.

Re: ADHD/ELA question
Yes. When I was teaching, my students who had 504s were pulled out for state tests to be proctored in a separate location. They were given extra time according to their individual 504 as well as any other considerations that were in their plan, like having the questions read aloud, explained, etc.

Same here.

Re: ADHD/ELA question
There are certain standardized tests, not necessarily state tests, where extended time is not allowed. An example is the InView test. So even kids with a 504 or IEP that state time and a half wouldn't receive it because of the test itself.
Otherwise, yes, they would and should receive it.

Re: ADHD/ELA question
The only accommodation NOT allowed on the ELA tests is having the test read to them.

Re: ADHD/ELA question
We usually spell out on our IEPs or 504s if the accommodation is for classroom, state or district tests. Most of the time it is all of the above. Just double check but if it says all tests then he should get the accommodation. Also you can get tests read on Day 2 of the ELA. You can read all test questions and answers following the listening passage because it does not test reading comprehension.
