The decision is to be documented by the LPAC in the student’s permanent record file and by the other applicable group, as described above.  \n• After state testing, EE must be recorded in the ACCOMM. field on the student’s answer document. This indicates that an allowable designated support was made available to the student. This embedded support is automatically recorded in the Assessment Management System.  \nExamples/Types  \nThis designated support may include only  \n• visual sound cards  \n• frequently misspelled word list (e.g., student-made, teacher-made, commercially produced)  \n• spell-check function on a word processor or as an online embedded support on STAAR  \n• pocket spell-checker  \n• word-prediction software  \n• text-to-speech software or devices  \n• speech-to-text software, applications, or devices  \nSpecial Instructions/Considerations  \n1. A student who uses this designated support may complete the test in a separate setting to eliminate distractions to other students and to ensure the confidentiality of the test.  \n2. The use of spelling assistance as a designated support on STAAR should not replace the teaching of spelling skills as outlined in the TEKS.  \n3. Dictionaries are a required part of standard test administration procedures for some state assessments. For more information, refer to the STAAR Dictionary Policy on TEA’s STAAR Resources webpage. For these assessments, any spelling assistance listed in the Examples/Types section may be provided, along with the required dictionary, to a student who meets the eligibility criteria.  \n4. An online spelling assistance embedded support is available as a Personal Needs and Preferences (PNP) option for students who routinely type responses using a spell check function during classroom instruction. Prior to participating in the STAAR online operational assessment using this PNP, students and teachers should become familiar with the embedded supports and various tools that are provided in the online tests in order to determine appropriateness for a particular student’s needs. There are several resources that can be accessed on TEA's website, including the STAAR online tutorials and released tests. Information about setting up online test sessions for students who will be using this PNP can be found in the STAAR Assessment Management System User’s Guide.
