If recommended, assessments will take place within 50 days of the initial request. If an assessment is not recommended, the Study Team will explain their reasoning in writing.

Travel New York City August 2002 The College Board and Disabilities Rights Advocates Announce Agreement to Drop Flagging From Standardized Tests The College Board and Disabilities Rights Advocates (DRA) announced recently that as of October 1, 2003 the College Board would discontinue the practice of identifying score reports on standardized tests taken by students who require extended test-taking time due to documented disabilities. Such special testing accommodations have been identified on the score report by the words nonstandard administration, a practice commonly referred to as flagging. The decision to discontinue flagging stems from a 1999 lawsuit against the Educational Testing Service (ETS) that resulted in ETSs agreement to remove all flags from the score reports of ETS-administered tests that are not owned by the College Board. ETS develops the test items, and administers and scores the SAT and several other tests owned by the College Board. With respect to College Board tests, DRA and the College Board had agreed to convene a Blue Ribbon Panel of jointly selected experts to consider issues related to the flagging of score reports. That panel recommended, by a vote of four to two, that the College Board discontinue flagging the score reports of tests taken with extended time.

Extractions: Society makes me handicapped." Developmental disabilities are a diverse group of physical, cognitive, psychological, sensory, and speech impairments that begin anytime during development up to 18 years of age. In most instances, the cause of the disability is not known. That's why it's important to understand what factors increase the chance that a child will have a developmental disability and what can be done to prevent the condition. top People with developmental disabilities such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, and epilepsy are each different from one another, even if they share the same medical diagnosis. Why? Because every person ever born is different from everyone else! It’s as incorrect to generalize about the child who is mentally retarded" or autistic as it is to assume that people with brown eyes or Canadian grandfathers are all alike.

Extractions: Foreword by Senator James M. Jeffords "Racial Inequity in Special Education provides important direction, for those of us in Congress and for those in our schools. The authors show us where we need to do better to ensure equal educational opportunities for all of our students, whatever their race or socioeconomic status. Where school leadership fails to address those issues that have an adverse impact on children of color and children with disabilities, we must bolster our efforts to protect every child's civil rights." "The findings of Racial Inequity in Special Education indicate a trend with chilling implications for our education system. The overidentification of minority students in special education and the subsequent isolation, stigmatization, and inferior treatment they receive reconfirms the notion that education in America falls short of offering a level playing field for all. By compiling this body of valuable scholarship, Losen and Orfield have unearthed the contours of the problem as well as promising blueprints for resolving it." "Meant to address the special needs of children with disabilities, federal and state special education laws have produced troubling racial results. This book's vital evidence and thoughtful recommendations can restore the vision of equality that should guide appropriate schooling for all children."
