Abstract

Understanding performance differences for left-handed learners on test batteries is critical for accurate assessments. This poster will consider how left-handed learners perform on subtests that require written responses and the potential for adaptations to standard administration. Practitioners will be challenged to think about how left-handed learners perform depending on subtest design and how to interpret data from these subtests as it applies to left-handed learners in order to reduce the potential for test bias.
