Anderson, Daniel; Farley, Dan; Tindal, Gerald – Journal of Special Education, 2015
Students with significant cognitive disabilities present an assessment dilemma that centers on access and validity in large-scale testing programs. Typically, access is improved by eliminating construct-irrelevant barriers, while validity is improved, in part, through test standardization. In this article, one state's alternate assessment data…
