5- Make sure your child gets the accommodations and test taking support they need. To get an accommodation at a public school for high stakes tests, it must be part of a formal plan done in conjunction with the school ??based on your child?™s disability. For students with Attention Deficit Disorder, you can get the needed accommodations if your physician assesses the child and determines the ADHD significantly impacts their academic performance. Students with a combination of learning, attention and vision issues benefit from extra time and a quiet place to take the test.

Extra time is very helpful for students who learn differently

You also want to consider having your child tested by someone who understands the way the test is written and who can teach the test taking strategies that work for them.

1- Teaching the child the way they learn best

2- Addressing vision and attention issues

3- Helping the child with both the right accommodations and test taking skills
