Abstract
This paper provides context and recommendations related to selecting accommodations for ELs and students with disabilities. Under this framework an accommodation must be feasible to implement; appropriate for the student; sensitive to a student's background; not alter the assessment; and make the assessment more accessible. The authors offer research to support these conditions.
