EQAO provides a specific makeup window for students who were legitimately absent, and schools must adhere to those scheduled dates.
A student with ADHD whose IEP includes 'use of fidget tools' wants to use this support during EQAO. What is required?
Answer: The specific accommodation must be listed in the student's IEP to be permitted
Only IEP-documented accommodations are permitted; the specific support must appear in the plan regardless of the student's diagnosis.
Which of the following best describes 'deferred assessment' as a special provision available in EQAO?
Answer: A student postpones their assessment to a later grade level
Deferred assessment allows a student to postpone participation to a subsequent administration, typically reserved for extraordinary circumstances.
A Grade 3 student has a documented fine motor disability affecting writing. Which accommodation would best address this need during EQAO?

A scribe or word processor is the standard accommodation for fine motor difficulties, allowing the student to demonstrate writing skills without the physical barrier.
English Language Learners (ELLs) enrolled in Ontario schools for more than one year are generally entitled to which EQAO support?
Answer: Dual-language glossaries for non-assessed vocabulary
ELLs beyond their first year can access bilingual glossaries that define non-assessed terms, helping remove language barriers without compromising the constructs tested.
Who has the authority to approve or deny an accommodation request that goes beyond what is listed in a student's existing IEP?
Answer: The school principal in consultation with the special education team
The principal works with the special education team to determine if additional accommodations are appropriate and must update the IEP accordingly before the assessment.
Which of the following scenarios would require a school to flag a student's EQAO result as 'exempted'?
Answer: The student's IEP team determined they are unable to participate even with accommodations
Exemption applies only when an IEP team determines that a student cannot meaningfully participate in the assessment even with all available accommodations.
