of the most frequent accommodations provided to students with a variety of
disabilities is some form of testing accommodation. A range of services and
support may be needed, and a range of models may be used, from testing done
within the disability services office to testing overseen by a free-standing
testing center, to testing accommodations provided directly by faculty. This
interactive audio conference will discuss the assignment of accommodation for
testing, the relative merits of various testing models, and organization
features of a functional and credible testing accommodations program. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
