Ongoing assessment of accommodations

• Gather information that describes the results of accommodations
• Discuss the results with the learner
  • What benefits are they seeing?
  • Are they reaching their goals?
  • Are there problems?
  • Do they experience any difficulties?
  • How has it helped them?
  • What do they need to change or revise?
  • Have they used the accommodation in other settings? If not, why? What needs to be changed/modified?⁵⁵

The ultimate aim through this process of ongoing monitoring, assessment and feedback is to encourage learners to move toward self-evaluation and self-correction. Ongoing assessment does not mean that a practitioner needs to set up separate times to review progress, although this may be integrated into the process. But it can be built into the day-to-day instruction by observation of the learning activities, asking the learners to engage in self-evaluation, through the group process and through various instructional techniques such as scaffolding, questioning, and feedback.
