General Information about
Supplemental Aids
 A supplemental aid is a resource that assists a student in recalling
information.

 The student must be able to understand the information, but


simply needs assistance recalling it.

 If a student’s disability affects memory retrieval, a supplemental


aid may be allowed on certain state assessments.

 Using a supplemental aid as an accommodation during instruction


should not replace the teaching of subject-specific skills as outlined
in the state curriculum.

 The supplemental aid must serve only as a tool and not a source of
direct answers.

DRAFT
Texas Education Agency
Student Assessment Division 2010 3
General Information about
Supplemental Aids (continued…)
 All supplemental aids must be documented in the student’s IEP
(and permanent record file if the student is an ELL receiving
special education services) and must be routinely used in
classroom instruction and testing.

 Although some supplemental aids may be appropriate for


instructional use, they may not be appropriate or allowed for use
on a state assessment.

 Please see Appendix D in the 2010-2011 Accommodations Manual


for more detailed information about Supplemental Aids.

Helpful Reminders about
Supplemental Aids
 Supplemental aids, like all accommodations, should be
individualized for each student. Students have different
strengths and needs, so it would not be appropriate to provide all
students the exact same supplemental aid.

 Supplemental aids used during state assessments must be


routinely used during classroom instruction and testing, because
students need ample experience with accommodations for them to
be effective. However, this does not mean that the supplemental
aid must be used every day.

Texas Education Agency
Student Assessment Division 2010 5
TAKS
 Supplemental aids are NOT allowed on TAKS, even for students
who receive special education services, nor are they allowed on
LAT administrations of TAKS.

 Supplemental aids are not allowed for students who receive


Section 504 services since these students are required to take
TAKS.

TELPAS
• For the TELPAS grades 2–12 reading tests, the use of a
supplemental aid requires an ARF.

Glossaries, including those made by teachers or students, that contain subject-
specific vocabulary are not allowed.
Exposition- the introductory material which gives the setting, creates the tone, presents the characters,
and presents other facts necessary to understanding the story

Foreshadowing- the use of hints or clues to suggest what will happen later in the story

Inciting Force- the event or character that triggers the conflict

Conflict- the essence of fiction. It creates plot. The conflicts we encounter can usually be identified as one
of four kinds. (Man versus…Man, Nature, Society, or Self)

Rising Action- a series of events that builds from the conflict. It begins with the inciting force and ends
with the climax.
Crisis- the conflict reaches a turning point. At this point the opposing forces in the story meet and the
conflict becomes most intense. The crisis occurs before or at the same time as the climax.
Climax- the climax is the result of the crisis. It is the high point of the story for the reader. Frequently, it
is the moment of the highest interest and greatest emotion. The point at which the outcome of the conflict
can be predicted.
Falling Action- the events after the climax which close the story.

Resolution (Denouement)- rounds out and concludes the action.
