Yes.  But for some English Language Learners, the FAIR‐K may not be an appropriate instrument. 

However, it is expected that classroom accommodations are used when necessary. 

FLKRS OverviewCan children whose native language is other   

than English participate in the FLKRS?

Yes.  But for some children with disabilities, FLKRS may not be appropriate. 

It is unlikely that the ECHOS™would be appropriate             for students who have significant physical  or           

cognitive disabilities. 

It is unlikely that the FAIR‐Kwould be appropriate               for students with significant sensory, cognitive, or 

language deficits.
