Accommodations, such as text-to-speech, are assigned to students in ADAM. If you need to add or adjust accommodations for a single student, you can go to Rostering > Users to edit the student record Accommodations tab. See Accommodations (Client Settings & Assigning) for more information.
If you would like to update accommodations for multiple students or want to review the accommodations for the entire school or grade, use the Student Accommodation Upload.
- Go to Rostering > Users.
- Search for the students you want to view or update (set the Role filter to "Students"). You can search for all the students in a school, a specific class, or a single grade.
- Select the checkbox for each student you want to update. The checkbox at the top of the list allows you select all students in the search results or all students on the current page.
- In the more menu on the top right, click Student Accommodation Upload.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to:
- Download the template roster file (CSV).
- Open and modify the roster file by setting accommodation values. See "Sample Roster File" below for how to modify the file.
- Save (as a CSV) and upload the roster file back into ADAM. If there are errors in the file, a "Validation Error" message will appear with a link to Download CSV with Errors; this file has an additional "Errors" column with a description of each error. Fix the errors and reupload the file.
Note: An accommodation profile must also be assigned to a test to enable accommodations on that test. See Accommodations for more information.
Sample Roster File
Each student will have one row for each accommodation profile. So in the example above, each student has three rows: Default, ELA, and Math. Only the accommodations enabled in your system will appear in the CSV file.
You should only edit the data in the accommodation columns.
- Add a 1 to any accommodation cell to enable an accommodation.
- Remove the 1 from any accommodation cell to disable an accommodation.
If you do not have authority to modify certain accommodations, that accommodation label will be labeled as "(locked)" in the column header, as in column Y above. Any changes made to the values in those columns will be ignored in the upload.
