  2. Principles of Universal Design • Universal design is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.— Ron Mace

  3. Universal Design “Universal Design does not imply ‘one sizes fits all’ but rather acknowledges the need for alternatives to suit many different people’s needs.” “…the essence of UDL is flexibility and the inclusion of alternatives to adapt to the myriad variations in learner needs, styles, and preferences.” -Rose & Meyer, 2000, p. 4

  4. Accessible Test Design Designing tests that maximize the information about the measured construct for each examinee

  5. Quantitative Score Present Information Interact with Content Measure of Construct Produce Response Stimulate Construct Apply Construct Visible Product of Construct Inference Statement About Construct How a Task Functions

  6. Barriers to Access Quantitative Score Present Information Measure of Construct Interact with Content Produce Response Apply Construct Stimulate Construct Visible Product of Construct Inference Statement About Construct Inaccurate receipt or interpretation of stimulus Challenges Interacting with Content Inaccurate production or recording of response

  7. Overcoming Barriers to Access • Adapted Presentation • Display of content • Representational form of content • Adapted Interaction • Adapted Response Mode

  8. Accessible Test Design

  9. Challenges to Accessible Test Design • Lack Standard Set of Accessibility Options • Lack Structure for Specifying Accessibility Information • Lack Method for Interoperable Content

  10. Accessible Portable Item Profile (APIP) Standard • Provides Structure to Item Development • Specifies Behaviors for Test Delivery • Requires Specifications of Student Needs • Comprehensive Integrated Solution for Accessible Test Design
