If these features cannot be disabled or monitored closely by an administrator, the device should not be used on an assessment.  \nThe online assessment platform used to deliver assessments (TestNav) is designed to comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level AA. In order to be compatible with the online assessment platform, browsers and assistive technologies should comply with the W3C's User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) and support WCAG 2.0, Level AA and the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) -Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) recommendation from the W3C. All assistive technology that is required to interact with the online assessment platform, but does not conform to W3C standards and guidelines, may present challenges for students during testing.  \nThere are three categories of assistive technology for use in assessments.  \nCategory One: Allowable Assistive Technology  \nThe first category includes assistive technology that is used by the student to interact directly with the computer-based testing platform. These assistive technologies include third-party software applications such as screen readers, as well as standard input devices, such as adaptive keyboards, adaptive mice, and switch interfaces. Schools must confirm the functionality of the devices and software within their technology environment prior to testing by conducting a simulation of the day-of-testing environment. This can be completed in two phases.  \nPhase I  \nThe Practice Tests are available non-secure through the resource support site or the TestNav desktop app. These practice tests are non-secure and provide students with exposure to the content and interactions. There are multiple versions of practice tests available. To test the functionality of assistive technology, select the appropriate practice test within each grade/subject tab.  \nChoose the:  \n• Accommodated Screen Reader version if testing with a screen reader or the  \n• Accommodated Non-Screen Reader version if testing with other assistive technology that is not a screen reader.  \nNote: Phase I is not via a secure student login. It is intended only to provide students with access to gain exposure to content and item interactions within the assessment. Phase II must be completed to confirm functionality in a secure assessment.  \nPhase II  \nThe PearsonAccessnext Training Center will include the capability to verify assistive technologies within the secure versions of the practice tests. The instructions for conducting an infrastructure trial are available in the Infrastructure Trial Readiness Guide available through the resource support site. Verification will require completing the same registration and PNP process used for operational assessment in the PearsonAccessnext Training Center.  \nThese activities will assist districts, schools, and students to determine whether their assistive technology will interact appropriately with the TestNav assessment platform and whether it can be used successfully during computer-based assessment. An infrastructure trial will also allow students to interact and gain familiarity with the actual computer-based interface.  \nAssistive Technology IS supported for use with the TestNav desktop app. The app supports use of most Assistive Te","cbCaihYw3A9c5kzG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihYw3A9c5kzG","pdf",441674,"English","# Assistive Technology Guidance for Assessments\n## Requirements and Accessibility Standards\n## Categories of Assistive Technology for Assessments\n## Phase I: Practice Test Verification\n## Phase II: Secure Infrastructure Trial Verification\n## Supported Platform Notes and Browser Limitations\n## List of Assistive Technologies\n## Technology and System Requirements References","[{\"question\":\"What are the platform/browser requirements for secure TestNav assessments?\",\"answer\":\"Browser-based TestNav is no longer supported using Firefox Extended Support Release because required browser plugins are discontinued.
