MI-Access Population
3 Types of MI-Access Assessments

Functional Independence
For those students who have, or function as if they have, a mild cognitive impairment

Functional Independence
• Students can typically assess their personal strengths and limitations
• Students can access resources, strategies, and supports to help them maximize their independence
5
What’s Being Assessed?
Content areas assessed for each population:– FI Accessing Print (Grades 3-8)
– FI Expressing Ideas (Grades 4&7)
– Mathematics (Grades 3-8)
– Science (Grades 5 and 8)
Since MI-Access does not assess Social Studies, the IEP team must decide the appropriate level test.
