Have you every been writing an IEP and trying to figure out the best reading accommodation for a student? Maybe you have too many students with paraprofessionals reading passages or instructions to them. If either of these scenarios are the case, then PAR may be the answer. PAR stands for the Protocol for Accommodations in Reading. PAR is free and can be used with any device. According to Don Johnston's website,
PAR was developed in collaboration with Denise DeCoste, author of the widely embraced Assistive Technology Assessment: Developing a Writing Productivity Profile and Linda Bastiani Wilson. Their desire was to create a repeatable and systematic assessment process that would not only provide concrete documentation you can use for IEP meetings, but also outline evidence-based practices you can use to make decisions about selecting a suitable reading accommodation for a student being considered.
There is also a free webinar that will show you how to use it. All of this information can be found on Don Johnson's website at www.donjohnston.com/products/par/.
