    4  and insert:
    5  or an alternate assessment pursuant to s. 1008.22(3)(c) are not
    6  offered to a student during the current year’s assessment
    7  administration due to technological limitations in the testing
    8  administration program which lead to results that reflect the
    9  student’s impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills rather
   10  than the student’s achievement of the benchmarks assessed by the
   11  statewide standardized assessment, a statewide standardized end
   12  of-course assessment, or an alternate assessment.
   13         (b) “Condition” means an impairment, whether recently
   14  acquired or longstanding, which affects a student’s ability to
   15  communicate in modes deemed acceptable for statewide
   16  assessments, even if appropriate accommodations are provided,
   17  and creates a situation in which the results of administration
   18  of the statewide standardized assessment, an end-of-course
   19  assessment, or an alternate assessment would reflect the
   20  student’s impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills rather
   21  than the student’s achievement of the benchmarks assessed by the
   22  statewide standardized assessment, a statewide standardized end
   23  of-course assessment, or an alternate assessment.
   24         (2) A student with a disability for whom the individual
   25  education plan (IEP) team determines is prevented by a
   26  circumstance or condition from physically demonstrating the
   27  mastery of skills that have been acquired and are measured by
   28  the statewide standardized assessment, a statewide standardized
   29  end-of-course assessment, or an alternate assessment pursuant to
   30  s. 1008.22(3)(c) shall be granted an extraordinary exemption
