Students with exceptionalities are required to take state and districts assessments. IEP teams may agree to provide accommodations and/or modifications for these assessments. SKACD believes that all students should be given the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.

The IEP team must follow both district and state protocols when providing changes to these required assessments. Each school district/building will appoint a state assessment coordinator to supervise the provision of state and local assessments.

SKACD also offers training and resources for IEP teams to consider.
