Challenge
From the OralAssist team themselves: Providing oral accommodations to a large group in general education classrooms can be challenging! For one, small classroom environments can make it difficult to reduce the distraction to others testing as the teacher reads aloud. Additionally, every student has different pacing and different needs with regard to how their test is read. Students also struggle with asking for oral accommodation due to a multitude of factors.
The OralAssist team wanted, with the use of the app, the ability for teachers to be able to more effectively assist and monitor the whole class during testing and assignments rather than being planted in one place reading to those who benefit from oral accommodations.
