All new homeschoolers want to know about state-mandated testing, especially if your child has learning disabilities.   The following pages contain information on Oregon state rules, but the bottom line is: 

If your child has an autism diagnosis or other learning disability, there is no need to worry that testing will be an obstacle.

• If I do test, how does it work? Who does the testing? What is the time schedule? What content is on the tests?

• If I write a PDP, what should it look like?  I need an example.

• If the ESD requests my test results, what should I send them?
