Excerpt from TEA Questions and Answers: Testing Accommodations for Students with Disabilities //“I cannot locate the accommodation policy document for frequent/multiple breaks.”// There is no longer a specific accommodation policy addressing a student’s need for frequent or multiple breaks during testing. For guidelines regarding breaks for all students during testing, see the STAAR Time Limits Policies and Procedures document found on the STAAR Resources page at @http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/staar. Look under STAAR General Resources > Test Administration

//Where is the accommodation policy for students who need to use a word processor?// The accommodations available for students with disabilities are shown in the Accommodation Triangle at @http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/accommodations/staar-telpas. See the Basic Transcribing and Spelling Assistance accommodation policies for instances when a student who meets the eligibility criteria can use a word processor as an accommodation during the statewide assessment.
