EMPOWERING
English Learners
with the most significant cognitive disabilities, one of the most historically under-supported groups of public school students. There has been no way to accurately and fairly assess these students’ English language proficiency — until now.


Mission
English learners with the most significant cognitive disabilities are diverse in their skills and language communication experiences. As a cohort of state-wide educators, assessment experts, and acclaimed researchers, we recognize that these multifaceted students deserve an assessment designed especially for them. Respecting each student’s unique needs, our standards-based Alt ELPA measures English proficiency, enriches instruction, and informs professional learning.
