Each Yes answer requires justification that contains evidence that the student meets the criterion. To be eligible to participate in TELPAS Alternate, the answer to questions 1–6 must be Yes. If the answer to any one of the questions is No, the student must be assessed with TELPAS.\u003Cbr>If the ARD committee determined that the student met eligibility criteria for TELPAS Alternate and also qualifies for“No Authentic Academic Response” or a “Medical Exception,” the student will not be required to participate in the administration of TELPAS Alternate. |  |\n| Grades 3–12 | If a student entering grades 3–12 has been identified in PEIMS as limited English proficient (LEP), and the ARD committee has followed state guidelines to determine the student’s participation in STAAR Alternate 2, the student will be assessed with TELPAS Alternate. The STAAR Alternate 2 participation requirements satisfy guidelines for these students, so questions 1–6 below do not need to be answered.\u003Cbr>If the ARD committee determined that the student met eligibility criteria for STAAR Alternate 2 and also qualifies for“No Authentic Academic Response” or a “Medical Exception,” the student will not be required to participate in the administration of TELPAS Alternate. |  |\n| 1. Is the student identified in PEIMS as LEP? ❍ Yes ❍ No |  |  |\n| 2. Does the student have a significant cognitive disability? ❍ Yes ❍ No |  |  |\n| • A determination of significant cognitive disability is made by the ARD committee and must be based on the student’s most recent full and individual evaluation (FIE) conducted by the multidisciplinary team that includes a licensed specialist in school psychology (LSSP), educational diagnostician, or other appropriately certified or licensed practitioner with experience and training in the area of the disability. AND\u003Cbr>• Results from the FIE must indicate a deficit in the student’s ability to plan, comprehend, and reason. FIE results must also indicate adaptive behavior deficits that limit a student’s ability to apply social and practical skills such as personal care, social problem-solving skills, dressing and eating, using money, and other functional skills across life domains. It is unlikely to see these types of results in an FIE of a student with a high-incidence disability only, such as a specific learning disability or speech impairment. |  | Enter justification that must include data from the FIE as evidenced by intellectual and adaptive evaluation information:\u003Cbr>This text box has a 550-character limit. |\n| 3. Does the student require specialized, extensive supports to access the ❍ Yes ❍ No grade-level curriculum and environment? |  |  |\n| • Federal regulations mandate that all students have access to grade-level curriculum. A student with a significant cognitive disability requires extensive, repeated, specialized supports and materials beyond the support typical peers require. The student uses substantially modified materials to access information in alternate ways to acquire, maintain, generalize, demonstrate and transfer skills across all settings.
