Developed for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who typically do not have a formal mode of communication and are working at pre-academic levels.
Participation in the FSAA—Datafolio has been determined by the Individual Educational Plan (IEP) Team to be the most appropriate method for assessing growth.
Designed to show student progress on a continuum of access toward academic content.
The FSAA—Datafolio assesses growth of students through a collection of work across three specific collection periods throughout the year.
