Students with disabilities may be included through accommodations, such as extended time, or alternate assessments, such as teacher observation of student performance. To provide information about the participation of students with disabilities in statewide assessments, GAO determined (1) the extent to which students with disabilities were included in statewide assessments; (2) what issues selected states faced in implementing alternate assessments; and (3) how the U.S. Department of Education (Education) supported states in their efforts to assess students with disabilities. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-618/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-618.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-618/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-618.pdf GAO-05-618 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-618 Other Written Product GAO-05-618; No Child Left Behind Act: Most Students with Disabilities Participated in Statewide Assessments, but Inclusion Options Could Be Improved; Aid for education Children with disabilities Data collection Education program evaluation Educational standards Educational testing Federal aid programs Federal/state relations Learning disabilities Program evaluation Special education State-administered programs Students Assessments Developmental disabilities Education law Department of Education National Assessment of Educational Progress
