Before testing arrangements can be made for a student with a disability, ODS must verify that a disability is present and determine what testing accommodations can be offered. Student’s must provide documentation of disability created by a professional whose credentials are appropriate to the diagnosis (i.e., physician for a physical disability; learning disability specialist or psychologist for a learning disability).
Students should plan for a 2-4 week review process. Documentation of disability can be submitted to ods@ua.edu. Student should mention that they are seeking accommodations on the R-ACT.
Per R-ACT guidelines, the accommodations for Residual Testing are:
- Extended time
- Marking responses in test booklet
- An interpreter to sign spoken instructions
- Food, drink, or medication (for medical conditions)
