Research Abstract
In order to promote reasonable accommodation for students with developmental disorders, we examined the validity of the content of reasonable accommodation based on scientific evidence. We compared the rational consideration of extending the examination time between students with developmental disorders and students with typical development. The results showed that the extension of examination time is effective for students with developmental disorders when they have characteristics of cognitive functions such as high language comprehension and low cognitive flexibility, and when they have difficulties such as vulnerability to change, difficulty in understanding intentions of others, and obsession/compulsion. In the future, the task is to accumulate knowledge on the rationale for the amount of extended test time by experimentally examining how much test time is needed by the students with developmental disorders, and to demonstrate the necessity of test accommodations.
