Testing Condition Accommodations for Disabled Students.

Phillips, S. E.

West's Education Law Quarterly, v2 n2 p366-89 Apr 1993

Both legal and psychometric principles suggest that testing accommodations for mental disabilities require additional analyses beyond that previously provided for physical disabilities. Examines legal precedents and psychometric standards. Concentrates on testing-accommodation requests for mental disabilities and concerns about test validity. (173 references) (MLF)
