Assessment Accommodations


In Oregon, accommodations are available to all students, although the decision to apply accommodations must be based on an evaluation of individual student need.

For statewide assessments, there are accommodations tables for OAKS assessments in reading, mathematics, science, and social sciences as well as accommodations tables for the Writing Performance assessment, Kindergarten assessment and English Language Proficiency (ELPA) assessment. These tables explain and regulate the allowable accommodations for all students during the administration of assessments.

NOTE: If you would like to recommend instructional strategies to be included on the accommodations and/or modifications tables for the statewide assessments, please click on the link below titled, “Accommodations Recommendation Submission Form”.
