STAAR Accommodations

TEA defines accommodations as changes to materials or procedures that enable students to participate meaningfully in learning and testing. TEA accommodation policies may apply to any student taking STAAR depending on his or her needs and whether the student meets the eligibility criteria, as applicable. These policies are divided into the following three main categories:

• accessibility features

• locally-approved designated supports

• designated supports requiring TEA approval
