This article outlines how to define and assign accommodations, such as Text to Speech (TTS). Certain accommodations, such as text-to-speech, are available for online testing and others, such as Braille, are paper-based or local accommodations that are noted in the student record.
ADAM and TestNav support different accommodations which are listed below.
Step-by-Step
Proctor View Online Accommodations
Proctors can view student accommodations (for the ADAM player and TestNav) in the Proctor Dashboard by hovering over the accommodations bubble for a student. The number in the bubble indicates the number of accommodations assigned to the student. Proctors can change the Text To Speech accommodation from the Proctor Dashboard if their role has permission.
Text To Speech is available for the ADAM test player.
