This was a checklist for making tests more Universally Designed on a campus. The checklist itself was pretty simplistic and provided some information as far as how to make tests more accessible, but I really liked the quotation at the bottom. The quote at the bottom was a reminder that the accessibility of the test should be for all users, not just students with disabilities, and that the purpose of the test is to demonstrate knowledge, not just provide consistency between students.

This test really does make one realize how many tests are not accessible!

This is a good, easy to follow checklist. It gives exact measurements and details as to how to make it the most accessible it can be.

This is a great resource for those with little knowledge of accessibility to make sure that their tests are accessible. I like how quick and easy it is to use so that busy teachers can fit it into their lives!

When I went off to college I ran into a guy at the University of Oregon named Ralph Salisbury who was my first creative writing instructor and he turned all the lights on for me. He was the first teacher in all my years who actually said I had talent. Some people don't know this, but I have dyslexia."
