In this blog post, we’ll explore effective strategies for preparing students for alternative special education state testing, emphasizing the importance of clarity, preparation, and integration into daily lessons.
In the realm of special education, selecting the right assessment tool is crucial for understanding the unique needs of students with developmental delays or disabilities. The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program VB-MAPP Assessment stands out as a comprehensive and widely used assessment designed to evaluate verbal and social behavior in learners with language deficits.
Selecting the right assessments in special education is paramount to understanding and fostering the growth of students with unique learning needs. Two widely used assessments, the Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS) and the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills – Revised (ABLLS-R), stand out as comprehensive tools designed to evaluate different facets of a student’s abilities.
We all know that understanding the unique needs of each student is foundational to effective teaching. There are valuable tools for achieving this understanding through baseline assessments. These assessments serve as a diagnostic tool, pinpointing areas of strength and identifying deficits.

When intent and impact align, learning takes off. When intent and impact do not align, learning can stagnate.
What we found is that adding structured literacy blocks into your daily schedule maximizes learning opportunities and increases student engagement. That being said, creating a schedule and structuring the physical set up and routines in the classroom to meet the diverse needs of students with disabilities is no easy feat.
