Praxis II PLT 5-9 Test Prep

Answer: B - It is NOT appropriate for Allen to receive an oral administration of tests that require lengthy, written answers. His difficulty comes from a physical injury that makes it arduous and painful for him to write for extended periods of time. Since his hearing and auditory processing are not reported to be affected by his injury, he can read the test items independently. Typing and taking short breaks are both accommodations that reduce the amount of writing that Allen must do while still assessing the targeted skills. Test scores may be invalidated if teachers give inappropriate accommodations, so the specific problem must be isolated and documented in order to assign accommodations.
