Summary

Accommodation

Students were given three subtests of the Comprehension Test of Basic Skills (CTBS) and had to fill in a bubble sheet.

Participants

Students for the study were 101 grade 4 students, ages 119 mos. to 130 mos. with 19 students with learning disabilities (14 boys and 5 girls) and 82 students without any disabilities (47 boys and 35 girls).

Dependent Variable

The number of items marked correctly on the bubble sheet and percent outside the bubble on the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (CTBS) were parts of the dependent variable.

Findings

Students with disabilities scored fewer items correctly than the students in general education, but were the same in the number of items inside the bubble. No differences were found in the percent of correct items or percent of items marked outside the bubble.
