Assessment of Minimum Competency in Fifth Grade Learning Disabled Students: Test Modifications Make a Difference.

Grise, Philip; And Others

Journal of Educational Research, v76 n1 p35-40 Sep-Oct 1982

Modifications such as additional examples, smaller subsections, unjustified formats, and grouping of items in order of difficulty facilitated the students' performance. Use of large-print tests made little difference. (Authors/PP)
