Subject: accommodations

Dear List,

I have a very  hard working pupil with extremely poor vocabulary
recall.  She has probably got every accommodation under the sun, and
the electronic dictionary is certainly a great help when it comes to
unseens.  However, when it comes to tests where she  has to put the
correct word into the sentence, or when she has to use the correct
modal, she is unable to do it, because she doesn’t know all the words
in the sentences.  She does, however, diligently learn all the words
she has been given to learn for the test.  And of course, she usually
manages to put verbs into the correct tense if there are enough verbal
clues.

In such a case, is it possible to get an accommodation whereby she can
use the dictionary for the whole exam?

Thanks to all those in special education who might know the answer.

Jennifer
