Which accommodation would benefit a student with a cognitive disability during a math test?

Reading problems aloud during the test is beneficial for a student with a cognitive disability because it can help clarify the task and reduce the cognitive load associated with decoding text. Many students with cognitive disabilities may struggle with reading comprehension, which can impede their ability to understand and solve math problems effectively. By having the problems read aloud, the student can focus on comprehending the mathematical concepts and procedures rather than getting stuck on reading the text itself. This support can boost their confidence and performance on the test, allowing them to demonstrate their understanding of the material without being hindered by potential reading difficulties.

While other accommodations like allowing frequent breaks, having a teacher scribe responses, and reducing the number of questions to answer can also provide support, reading the problems aloud directly addresses comprehension challenges specific to the cognitive task at hand.
