NAPLAN for students in years 3, 5, 7 and 9 have commenced.
Students with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dysgraphia are entitled to adjustments!
In fact they should be provided to encourage maximum participation and to ensure all students have a fair opportunity to complete NAPLAN.
Adjustments can include support person, scribe, extra time, rest breaks and assistive technology to name a few. Some adjustments can be approved by the school principal, while others need approval by the TAA and these should be offered and discussed with parents/carers and students before NAPLAN commences!
Check out the NAPLAN National Protocols for Test Administration 2023 for more info!

Just can't get enough of Barrington Stokes books 😊

Nor does a diagnosis guarantee an IEP.
