Description

The English Learners with Disabilities Toolkit is designed to provide states and IEP teams with tools they can use to better understand their students who are English learners with disabilities and to determine in which state assessment (general or alternate) they should participate and whether accessibility features or accommodations are needed for their participation in any assessment. This toolkit does not address the development of complete IEPs for English learners with disabilities.

States and IEP teams can modify the tools included in this toolkit to reflect any differences in their English learners with disabilities populations or in their IEPs. They also can be adjusted to link to a state’s own guidelines for participation in ELP and content assessments.
