Test Accommodations

As the Exclusive Licensee of ACTFL Assessments, LTI is committed to fostering inclusive access to ACTFL assessments for all learners in Grades 3-12 by providing reasonable accommodations appropriate to each individual’s unique abilities and needs. As such, all test accommodations requests are handled on a case-by-case basis in order to provide personalized solutions that make ACTFL assessments accessible to learners with diverse needs.

Requests for testing accommodations should be submitted as early as possible since up to 10 business days (excluding weekends and US holidays) are required for processing once they are received. In some cases, additional time may be required while requests are reviewed and the appropriate accommodations enabled for each test.

Please read the instructions below carefully as they will help you to understand how to submit accommodations requests for your learners in Grades 3-12. Please note that if you are seeking information about accommodations for Higher Education, for Government and Commercial testing, or for tests purchased by individuals independently of an organization, you should visit the corresponding page for your needs:
