EDUCATION DECISION WORKBENCH
Map access barriers to candidate supports without changing the construct or making an eligibility decision.

Load the worked example to inspect realistic inputs, or enter anonymous, policy-approved information. Results remain in this browser tab until you copy or download them.
Transparent method
Each barrier is classified as access, response, or environment. The tool matches only supports marked “yes” in the same class. Unmatched barriers stay unresolved. It does not calculate an accommodation, infer disability, or recommend a legal decision. A mapped row means there is a candidate support to review. The team must confirm authorization, learner preference, implementation details, and whether the support preserves the knowledge or skill being measured.
Confirm the assessment purpose, construct, standard conditions, and authorized decision process.
Review each mapping for construct relevance and practical implementation.
Record only the authorized plan in the approved system and communicate it to responsible staff.
How to interpret the result
Use this planner before adapting an assessment when the team needs to distinguish the intended construct from barriers created by directions, response mode, timing, or environment. It creates an auditable conversation map; it never establishes eligibility.
For a 50-minute science explanation, the example maps dense instructions to plain-language directions, sustained handwriting to speech-to-text review, and background noise to a low-distraction setting. The shared construct remains explaining how evidence supports a scientific claim.

Do not paste IEP records, diagnoses, or names. Do not treat extra time as the default solution. Do not remove a task feature when that feature is part of the construct. Rehearse approved assistive technology before assessment day.
Learning boundary
Only the authorized school team can approve accommodations under the applicable plan, policy, and jurisdiction. This browser-local worksheet must not contain unnecessary disability or health information.
Review checklist
Practical questions
No. It organizes supplied barriers and approved supports for team review.
If it changes the knowledge or skill being measured, the team must treat that as a validity issue and follow policy.
The staged tool calculates in the current browser tab and does not send field values to the API.
