Math Accessibility Supports - 2017–18 California Student Assessment for Mathematics

Oct 3, 2026

Uploaded by Rowan

2017–18 California student mathematics assessments define accessibility supports available to all students and additional designated supports provided based on teacher recommendation and student needs. The document distinguishes universal tools that may be embedded versus non-embedded, and lists designated supports with examples such as color contrast, masking, text to speech, translations, and alternate response options. It also specifies accommodations for students with IEPs or Section 504 plans, and outlines CAAs administration details, including one-on-one administration, limited interface resources, and references to CAASPP and usability/accessibility guidelines.

Administration of the California Alternate Assessments (CAAs) to eligible pupils shall be one-on-one (test examiner to pupil) according to the CAASPP manual. Depending upon the pupil’s disability or needs, the CAAs may or may not include the student’s independent use of the testing interface. Since the CAAs are given to students one-on-one by a test examiner, some embedded resources are not provided. For example, while a Braille version of the test is not provided, the test maybe presented using an embosser, or a refreshable display.
