Linguistic Accommodations Linguistic accommodations provided during state assessments should be based on the students need for second language acquisitions support and whether the student uses the accommodation routinely in classroom instruction and testing. Providing unfamiliar linguistic accommodations may hinder rather than help the student. (TEA Linguistic Accommodations for ELL’s Participating in STAAR Program Guide, pg. 3)

Verification of Accommodations  Documentation may include but is not limited to:  OSP  Written teacher documentation  Lesson Plans  Etc..
