Accommodations
• Students with disabilities who are also identified as limited English
proficient (LEP) may require accommodations due to language
proficiency. These must be documented in the students’ LEP
documentation.
• Word to Word Bilingual dictionary is available for students who scored
below 5.0 on the reading subset of the ACCESS for ELLs.
• Adaptations to NCDPI-Provided Manipulatives, such as raised lines,
enlarged text/pictures, placement of pictures on information boards, and
use of student-specific symbols are allowed. Adaptations to NCDPIprovided manipulatives may be created by Assessor 1 as needed for
those students who routinely have adaptations to materials for
instructional use. This accommodation may be used only for the NCDPIprovided manipulatives.

•
Students identified as limited English proficient (LEP) and in their first year in U.S. schools
who score below Level 4.0 Expanding on the state-identified English language proficiency
reading placement test are exempt from Retest 1 for mathematics and science. Note: This
