Which document is the primary source that determines what accommodations a student receives during EQAO assessments?
Answer: The student's Individual Education Plan (IEP)
A student's IEP is the authoritative document that lists their entitled accommodations, which must be mirrored during EQAO testing.
Under EQAO policy, which of the following is considered a 'special provision' rather than a standard accommodation?
Answer: Exemption from the assessment
Exemption from the assessment is a special provision requiring specific eligibility criteria, whereas extended time and scribes are standard accommodations.
A student using a word processor during EQAO must have this accommodation documented in their IEP and must also ensure which condition is met?
Answer: Spell-check and grammar-check tools are disabled
EQAO requires that spell-check and grammar-check be disabled when a word processor is used so the tool does not provide an unfair advantage.
How must schools submit accommodation information for EQAO assessments?
Answer: By entering the information into the EQAO online portal
Schools use EQAO's secure online system to register students and document their accommodations before the assessment window.
Which group of students may be eligible to receive their EQAO assessment materials in a language other than English or French as a special provision?
Answer: English Language Learners (ELLs) within their first year of enrollment in an English program
Recently arrived ELLs in their first year may access certain supports, though full translation is limited; specific provisions depend on current EQAO policy cycles.
A student with a visual impairment requires a Braille version of the EQAO assessment. Who is responsible for ordering this material?
Answer: The school must request it through EQAO's advance ordering process
Schools must proactively request Braille and other alternate format materials through EQAO's ordering system well before the assessment window.
If a student's IEP specifies 'frequent breaks' as an accommodation, how should this be applied during an EQAO session?
Answer: Breaks are provided consistent with the IEP and time is paused accordingly
Accommodations listed in the IEP, including scheduled breaks, are applied as documented, and testing time is managed so students are not penalized.
