根据专业标准和联邦立法,从业者应提供合理的测试便利,以消除歧视性做法,并允许一个“均匀的竞争环境”。\"然而,一个对比的观点是,偏离标准管理程序可能产生的影响——对残疾人来说毫无意义的分数和不公平的优势。特别是关于韦克斯勒儿童智力量表-第三版,从业人员缺乏以下领域的指导方针:(a)初步选择要管理的测试;(b)管理方面的修改,(c)结果的解释和报告。需要作出更大的努力,根据学生的需求综合制定指导方针,专业标准,联邦立法,心理测量理论,和实证研究。
According to professional standards and federal legislation, practitioners should provide reasonable test accommodations to eliminate discriminatory practices and to allow for an \"even playing field.\" However, a contrasting view is concerned with the possible effects of deviating from standard administration procedures--meaningless scores and an unfair edge for individuals with disabilities. Particularly regarding the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition, practitioners are lacking
guidelines in the following areas: (a) initial selection of tests to administer; (b) modifications in administration, if any; and (c) interpretation and reporting of results. Greater efforts are needed to formulate
guidelines based on a synthesis of student needs, professional standards, federal legislation, psychometric theory, and empirical research.
