Description: Current policies require school teams to demonstrate and document the effectiveness of instructional accommodations using data-based methods prior to making decisions about accessible instructional materials and assessments. A systematic process for gauging the need for reading accommodations that is suited to school-based settings is necessary. The Protocol for Accommodations in Reading (PAR) was developed in response to this need. PAR, a free downloadable tool, as well as a new online version called uPAR, will be described so that participants can see how any educational team can proactively make more informed decisions.This course has enabled open enrollment.
