Assessing for Examination Accommodations, Concessions and Access Arrangements

Date: Saturday 11 April 2026
Time: 9 am to 2 pm

In this 5-hour online interactive workshop, we will explore the necessity for examination concessions and accommodations as indicated in the Policy of Inclusion in South Africa: White Paper 6 (SIAS). We look at the purpose of the psycho-educational assessments, processes involved and approval decision-making processes. Relatedly, we consider the types of assessment measures and a review of current policies of the most prolific examination boards, including tertiary institutions. Ethical decision-making processes related to selection of instruments, and report-writing are also discussed. During our workshop we will also review various case studies for practical application of the information shared. In addition to the live training workshop, you will have access to a downloadable training manual, the most recent available policies (as referred to in the training) and a recording the training video.

This training is suitable to Psychologists, Psychometrists, Registered Counsellors, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, Neurologists and other specialists involved in applications processes for examination accommodations and concessions.
