• Special Education teachers were constantly being pulled out of the instructional setting to administer tests to special education students.
• Students who have the test read aloud cannot work at their own pace.
• When students have to retake a test, the special educator must be pulled from the regular classroom to read the test again.
• Special educators are also pulled away from instruction when a student is absent on the day of a test.

Special Education teachers found an alternative to reading tests aloud.

• iPad "Speak" Feature
• Voiceover using apps such as Explain Everything

• When students take a test using the iPad, they can have the iPad read individual words or questions. This allows students to work at their own pace.
• Retaking tests can be done more independently with the iPad. Students can complete the test in the general education classroom or during a resource period without the help of a teacher.
• When students return from an absence, they can complete the test independently in the general education classroom or during a resource period.
• Some students still prefer a human voice to read the test. In Biology class, students have the option to listen to a voice recording of the test that has been uploaded to Google classroom.
