(adapted from Stephanie Lancaster, EdD, OTR/L):

• Schedule exam at a different time for the student with accommodations
• Provide multiple versions of the same test
• Change the format of testing/assessment from multiple choice to:
• Essay
• Student creates a “visual” representatuib of a term, concept or process
• Alternatives to traditional testing 
• Consider giving mini-assessments rather than a standard midterm/final exam. If that format is used, it may also be feasible to require each learner to identify a resource to justify their response for each item on the test (listing a page number in a textbook, etc.) - there is evidence that doing so facilitates learning and longer-term retention of information, reduces random guessing, and minimizes answer-sharing between classmates.
