VOLUME 30, NUMBER 11, December 1999 Fairness a challenge when developing special-needs tests Psychologists search for ways to assess the skills of special-needs students, yet preserve a test's validity. By Beth Azar Monitor staff When special-needs students are granted more time to take the SAT, does that give them an unfair advantage over other students? Or does it merely level the playing field, allowing the students' true abilities to shine through their disabilities? That's the dilemma facing test developers, many of them psychologists, as they try to create valid, meaningful tests and at the same time accommodate people with disabilities. Many researchers are looking for solutions to that problem in response to the 1997 revision of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which requires states and districts to make educational tests available to students with disabilities by 2003. Meanwhile, testing administrators are also seeking to design fair tests for the increasing number of test takers who are not native English speakers. Developing accommodations for these students is no easy task, say psychologists who research and develop tests. Changing a test, whether by extending the time someone has to take it, allowing people to read items aloud or providing translations or glossaries, may change its validity. And, testing experts say, an altered exam may no longer assess the same ability or skill it was designed to measure or the outcome it's designed to predict, testing experts say.

27. Chapman V. California Department Of Education for children with disabilities on oregon’s high Countless children with special needs have clearly mastered high repeat test takers who are disabled is even http://www.dralegal.org/cases/chapman/

CHAPMAN v. CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Plaintiffs in Chapman are hundreds of thousands of public school children with disabilities who filed suit seeking to protect their rights with respect to the new California High School Exit Exam. The Exit Examination is possibly the worst educational event to happen to disabled children in California in 30 years. DRA recently negotiated a resolution with the State of Oregon that ensures accommodations for children with disabilities on Oregon’s high stakes examination. California, however, has refused to negotiate. Twenty-two states now have such exams and DRA has become the leading law center in the nation representing children with learning disabilities and dealing with standardized tests. Countless children with special needs have clearly mastered high school standards but, because of their disability, cannot fairly be evaluated on standardized tests. As a result, over 90% of students with disabilities have so far failed the examination. The passage rate for repeat test takers who are disabled is even lower than for first time test takers. The staggering failure rate threatens disabled children with the distinct possibility of never graduating from high school and of being relegated to a lifetime of entry-level jobs. They cannot make plans for their educational or vocational career, and the risk is high that many will lose hope and drop out. The pressures of being forced to take an exam that covers material that the students have never been taught and the fear that they will never get a diploma has left children with disabilities humiliated and alienated from the education system.

Special needs kids come to Sisters By Torri Barco More and more "special needs" students are coming to Sisters. Sisters Elementary School is experiencing growth in its special needs program, which serves students with speech impairments, learning disabilities, autism, Down Syndrome, and Asperger's Syndrome (characterized by difficulties with social skills). About 70 students, or 17 percent of the 429 students, are in the special needs category, said Tim Comfort, principal. In the past, the number of special students averaged 13 percent of the student body, Comfort said. This year, Sisters Elementary showed an increase in student enrollment for the first time in four years, jumping to 429 students from 382, Comfort said (see story, page 1).

Law is frustrating for special ed By Julia Silverman The Associated Press DON RYAN / AP Special-education instructor Michelle Harper, left, works on math problems with Erika Rodriguez at White Mountain Middle School in Eagle Point, Ore., last month. E-mail this article Print this article Search archive But when it comes time to take the standardized tests that the federal government uses to measure public schools, so many of Harper's students at White Mountain Middle School tune out, picking answers at random, not realizing the potentially severe consequences for their school. Across the country this year, thousands of schools were deemed "failing" because of the testing performance of special-education students, under a new federal education law backed by the Bush administration. The results have provoked alternate feelings of fury, helplessness and amusement for teachers like Harper, who say that because of the biological nature of some of their students' disabilities, there is no realistic way to ever meet the expectations of the new law, which mandates that 99 percent of all children must be performing at or above grade level by 2014. Eventually, if schools fail to meet those targets, they run the risk of being taken over by the state or private companies; teachers could lose their jobs.

Homeschooling Laws for Children with Disabilities There are many advantages to home educating children with learning difficulties. These children generally do better in an educational setting with a higher student/teacher ratio, which is just what homeschooling provides. Instruction can be totally individualized to meet the child’s specific needs. The parent can take advantage of all the teachable moments throughout the day. Homeschool families don’t have to undo bad habits learned in the classroom. There are also challenges when home educating children with disabilities. The parent needs to spend extra time learning about the child’s specific learning challenge and appropriate teaching methodologies. Some children with disabilities will be dependent on the family for years and require an enormous amount of supervision. Overall, parents with children with disabilities say home- schooling, while challenging, is very rewarding. The homeschool statute, ORS 339.035, makes provision for home educating children with disabilities. This portion of the statute is interpreted in OAR 581-021-0029 which deals specifically with children with disabilities. If I have a child I think is disabled, do I have to follow these rules?
