Alabama Step 1 is a process for requesting test accommodations for individuals with disabilities who are taking tests in the state of Alabama. Accommodations may include extended testing time, providing a distraction-free environment, or providing assistive technology. The Alabama Step 1 process involves submitting a written request for accommodations to the Alabama Department of Education. The request must include documentation of the individual's disability and a description of the specific accommodations being requested. The request should also include contact information for the individual's doctor, therapist, or other professional who can provide more information. The Alabama Department of Education will review the request and either approve or deny the request. If the request is approved, the department will issue an accommodation form with specific instructions for taking the test. There are three types of Alabama Step 1: Read General Instructions for Requesting Test Accommodations. These are: (1) the Request for Student Accommodations form, (2) the Notice of Denial of Accommodations form, and (3) the Accommodations form. The Request for Student Accommodations form is used to submit a request for accommodations. The Notice of Denial of Accommodations form is sent if the request for accommodations is denied. The Accommodations form is sent if the request is approved and contains instructions for taking the test with accommodations.
