Oral Assessment, Val Verde HS Video

Students who have learning disabilities may benefit from the opportunity to have verbal instead of written assessment. Teachers can administer tests verbally, and also have the students respond orally. This will eliminate any visual processing difficulties.

Students should also have the opportunity to participate in verbal assignments, such as speeches, audiobooks, role play, and creating videos using a camcorder or webcam.
