Thompson, Sandra; Thurlow, Martha; Malouf, David B. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2004
Universally designed assessments are designed and developed to allow participation of the widest possible range of students, in a way that results in valid inferences about performance on grade-level standards for all students who participate in the assessment. This paper explores the development of universal design and considers its application…
