MI-Access Population
3 Types of MI-Access Assessments
–Functional Independence
–Supported Independence
–Participation
3
Functional Independence
For those students who have, or function as if they have, a mild cognitive impairment
4
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.
6
Item Development
• Core items count toward the student’s score
• Embedded items are for field testing ONLY

Functional Independence
• Resemble paper/pencil test
• Use multiple-choice item format ONLY, except for Expressing Ideas
15
Functional Independence
• Students DO NOT complete answer document; assessment administrators transfer student responses from test booklet and bubble in student responses on answer document
16
Administering FI Assessment
Read the manual before administration
Scripts in the manual for each content area that MUST be followed during assessment administration
18
Administering FI Assessment
Become familiar with scripts ahead of time
Need to fill in assessment booklet page numbers in the script
19
Functional Independence
Text comprehension passages are designed to be appropriate for age/interest levels of students being assessed
Most students should be able to read passages
20
Functional Independence
If a student accesses print through a reader, it is considered a standard accommodation
21
Administering FI Assessment
Decide on a student-by-student basis if assessments will be administered individually or in a group
22
Administering FI Assessment
There is NO time limit – use own judgment on time allowed and how much to administer in one sitting
23
Optional Test Materials
Mathematics:
coins, bills, clocks, calendars, meters, etc.
Science:
sand, water, flashlight, musical instruments, etc.
