Content and Language Supports (term used for classroom and STAAR testing accommodations) remove content and language barriers for students receiving services in Special Ed, 504, and Emergent Bilingual.
Going to this page will provide you with content-specific examples of Content and Language Supports from released STAAR tests. These patterns can be used and recreated for Aware online assessments, when attaching Content Clarifiers (Eduphoria Aware's term). You will also find information about how and when to allow text-to-speech and Spanish language supports to qualifying students.
