What is Alternate Assessment based on Alternate Achievement Standards?

The alternate assessment based on alternate achievement standards (AA-AAS) is an assessment of academic content used for accountability purposes. It is intended to be used with students with significant cognitive disabilities as determined by each state's eligibility criteria.

National data on who participates in AA-AAS show that most students are those with the most significant cognitive disabilities, primarily those with intellectual disabilities, autism, and multiple disabilities. This group includes students who are also English learners (ELs). ELs with disabilities who participate in an AA-AAS, may also take an English Language Proficiency (ELP) alternate assessment.
