State test accommodations are available for students with documented IEPs or 504 Plans. School IEP/504 Teams meet to determine the need for state test accommodations based on the guidance included in the Hawaii State Test Accommodation Guides, Crosswalk of Accessibility Features Across State Assessments in Hawai‘i 2020-2021, and the Usability, Accessibility, and Accommodations Guidelines 2020-2021. The IEP/504 Teams’ determinations are subject to review and audit by the Assessment Section and Special Needs Section to ensure compliance with The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In accordance with the IDEA (34 CFR §§300.160(b)(2)), “the State’s guidelines must identify only those accommodations for each assessment that do not invalidate the score; and instruct IEP teams to select, for each assessment, only those accommodations that do not invalidate the score.”
