Four-Function Calculator Documentation Guidelines

Documentation for the four-function calculator accommodation must demonstrate the following:

• The student’s disability (refer to Disability Documentation Guidelines)
• The impact of the disability on the student’s ability to perform mathematic calculations
   

Academic tests of mathematics are most useful to demonstrate the need for this accommodation. These tests are usually administered by school or clinical psychologists or educational diagnosticians. Examples include the following:

• Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Academic Achievement (General and extended batteries including fluency measures)
• Scholastic Abilities Test for Adults
• Wechsler Individual Achievement Test
• Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement

See Learning Disorders  for more information about documentation guidelines.
