  Case: SPED Student with minimum testing accommodations
Mrs. Daisy is a third grade inclusion teacher. She has a SPED student in her classroom who is not performing on tests and her grades are suffering. The only testing accommodations in place now are small group testing. Mrs. Daisy has tried reading the test aloud to this student before and it makes a tremendous difference. Mrs. Daisy was told to not do this because they needed the negative data to prove that this student would benefit from further accommodations. Mrs. Daisy understands this, but is concerned because this student can not afford for her grades to drop any further. What can Mrs. Daisy do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Unfortunately, that is the name of the game. Data moves mountains but children fall back in the meantime. Meet them in the middle. Collect your data for the day and read the remainder to the child until you can get the accommodation set.
