| 1In 1996,
NAEP started allowing testing accommodations for students with disabilities
and for limited English proficient students. Accommodations may include extra time,
one-on-one administration, use of magnifying equipment, translation of
assessments, or the use of bilingual dictionaries and are determined by
state and district policies.
Beginning in 2002, all NAEP assessments allow accommodations. |

groups include Hispanics of those races. |
