On slide 41 under the bullet it says that you need to submit the "request" form so that NDCPI can approve the adaptive seating.  The reason for this is to ensure that the adaptive seating will not in some way invalidate the tests (cheating, etc.)You can count on yoga balls, round tables, standup desks, etc.) being "approved" and don't need to be documented however because the state has already listed them as accessibility features for all.

When we refer to Noise Cancelling headphones, we mean students that wear headphones to block noise only (not plugged into a device for read aloud). If a student is wearing headphones for a read aloud accommodation, the brand or type does not matter.

If the student is wearing headphones to only cancel noise, you will have to apply for this using a Accommodation Notification request form.
