The guide provides a quick-reference sequence of questions that must be answered to decide between DLM participation and regular state accountability assessments. It starts by confirming whether the student has an IEP, then evaluates whether the inability to participate stems from significant cognitive disability rather than other factors. It further checks assessment data for the most significant cognitive disability, reviews adaptive functioning deficits, and determines whether the student requires extensive direct instruction with maximum support and scaffolding aligned to Essential Elements.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/illinois-dynamic-learning-maps-alternate-assessment-decision-making-tool-for-determining-student-eligibility/534235/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/illinois-dynamic-learning-maps-alternate-assessment-decision-making-tool-for-determining-student-eligibility/534235.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Liam","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-10","2026-10-10",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the purpose of the Illinois Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment decision-making tool?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"It helps districts determine whether a student should participate in the Illinois Dynamic Learning Maps alternate assessment or instead take the regular state accountability assessments.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How does Question 1 affect the eligibility decision?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"If the student does not currently have an IEP, the tool states the student must participate in the regular state accountability assessments.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What conditions must be met for eligibility after Question 6?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Eligibility requires affirmative answers indicating the student has the most significant cognitive disability, significant adaptive functioning deficits, and needs extensive direct instruction with maximum support and scaffolding aligned with the Essential Elements.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},534235,1791710734,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":39,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":14,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":24,"preview_page_count":4},8796095461564,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_155a257f0dc6eb9ab79c44ca47cae57d","Illinois Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment Decision Making  \nThe Decision-Making Tool for Determining Student Eligibility for the Illinois Alternate  Assessment is a resource for districts to utilize to assist in making decisions regarding Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) participation. This resource serves as a quick reference guide for districts to use in conjunction with the Decision-Making Tool. To determine if a student should take the DLM or the regular state assessment, answer the list of questions below to determine if your student is eligible to participate in the Illinois Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment or if they must participate in the regular state accountability assessments.  \nQuestion 1  \nDoes the student currently have an IEP?  \n• If YES proceed to question 2.  \n • If NO student must participate in the regular state accountability assessments.  \nQuestion 2  \nIs the student’s inability to participate in the regular assessment primarily the result of the most significant cognitive disability and NOT excessive absences, other disabilities, cultural factors, first language or economic disadvantage?  \n• If YES proceed to question 3.  \n • If NO student must participate in the regular state accountability assessments.  \nQuestion 3  \nDoes assessment data indicate that the student has the most significant cognitive disability?  \n• If YES proceed to question 4.  \n • If NO student must participate in the regular state accountability assessments.  \n[www.isbe](www.isbe.net/SpecialEducation)[.net/SpecialEducation](www.isbe.net/SpecialEducation)  \nILLINOIS  \nSTATE BOARD OF  \nEDUCATION  \nQuestion 4  \nDoes assessment and/or observation data indicate that the student has significant adaptive functioning deficits?  \n• If YES proceed to question 5.  \n • If NO student must participate in the regular state accountability assessments.  \nQuestion 5  \nDoes the student require extensive direct instruction with maximum support and scaffolding on alternate grade level concepts, and skills aligned with the Essential Elements?  \n• If YES proceed to question 6.  \n • If NO student must participate in the regular state accountability assessments.  \nQuestion 6  \nDoes the student require extensive direct instruction with maximum support and scaffolding on alternate grade level concepts, and skills aligned with the Essential Elements?  \n• If YES the student is eligible to participate  \nin the Illinois Dynamic Learning Maps  Alternate Assessment.  \n• If NO student must participate in the regular state accountability assessments  \n\n| If the answer is NO to ANY of the questions above, the student must participate in regular state accountability assessments. |  |\n| --- | --- |","cbCaimBXmQYo4gi2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimBXmQYo4gi2","pdf",1493711,"English","# Decision-Making Tool Overview\n# Eligibility Questions (1-6)\n## Outcomes and Required Assessment Participation","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Illinois Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment decision-making tool?\",\"answer\":\"It helps districts determine whether a student should participate in the Illinois Dynamic Learning Maps alternate assessment or instead take the regular state accountability assessments.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Question 1 affect the eligibility decision?\",\"answer\":\"If the student does not currently have an IEP, the tool states the student must participate in the regular state accountability assessments.\"},{\"question\":\"What conditions must be met for eligibility after Question 6?\",\"answer\":\"Eligibility requires affirmative answers indicating the student has the most significant cognitive disability, significant adaptive functioning deficits, and needs extensive direct instruction with maximum support and scaffolding aligned with the Essential Elements.\"}]","Illinois Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment - Decision Making Tool for Determining Student Eligibility | PDF",1791597956]
