Testing Students with Disabilities Back to Spotlight Issues Back to CTEST Home Introduction to the issue Official Documents regarding special needs students Special needs testing in the News Weblinks for further information Introduction to the Issues As increasing numbers of students with disabilities apply for admission to institutions of higher education, many are seeking modifications during admissions testing to accommodate for their disabilities. Many of these accommodations are granted. The most common modification is extended time for test administration, although large print versions of tests, readers for tests, and other types of accommodations are also provided. When these accommodations are granted, many of those taking the tests with modifications are unaware that the score reports for such testing usually are sent to colleges or universities with a "flag" or other designation indicating that the test was given under nonstandard conditions. This nation currently embraces important social policy goals of allowing persons with disabilities to participate as fully as possible in society without having to face negative bias or stereotypes. For too long, many individuals with disabilities have had to confront unfair presumptions about their abilities to succeed in education and employment. There are now laws in many states and two federal laws designed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

HOME ABOUT CITY U STUDENTS INTERNATIONAL ... SYLLABI ...Quick Links... CU Updates CU Online CU Employment Site Map Calendar Registration Bookstore Forms Admissions Registration Catalog DL ... CU Updates Students Needing Accommodation and Academic Support The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against the disabled and applies to all colleges, universities and other educational institutions. The focus of the provisions of this law is on integration and equality. A university is not allowed to make pre-admission inquiries about whether a student has any disabilities. Once the individual has met the university's admission standards, that individual should not be barred from attempting to complete a course of studies. Providing meaningful access to courses for disabled persons is not preferential treatment, it is aimed at providing equal opportunity. When a student's disability prevents him or her from fulfilling a course requirement through conventional procedures, thoughtful consideration should be given to alternatives, keeping in mind that academic standards must be maintained. Innovative and flexible solutions may include extended assignment deadlines, use of word processing equipment, or taped responses in class or on examinations. The responsibility for determining a City University student's eligibility for accommodation rests with the Human Resource Department/Disability Resource Office.

Of these, 170,000 experience the more severe and profound disabilities ( Ref.1 ). Each year approximately 7,000 families learn that their new born child has a serious disabling illness. A similar number of children are identified as having 'special needs' during their later years. The question of defining "disability" and/or "special needs" remains a matter for debate amongst organisations, many of which differ in their interpretation. There is a helpful article on this issue, including the contrasting medical model and social model of disability by Tom Hutchinson ( Ref. 2 This factsheet aims to identify the principal factors involved in caring for a child with disabilities: everyday tasks, financial considerations, services provided by statutory and non-statutory bodies and key legislation. It is worth remembering as you read that despite the acute shortfall in emotional and financial support, parent carers give their time willingly; to them their child remains very special and very much loved.
