AKSA Visual Impairment (VI) Materials Request
The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) will provide tactilely enhanced supplemental materials (e.g., maps, graphs) for some grades on the Alternate Kentucky Summative Assessment (AKSA) Attainment Tasks (AT) to students who have visual impairments. KDE must verify that the student has VI marked on their Individual Education Program (IEP).
If a student qualifies for these materials, the person requesting the VI materials should verify a visual impairment has been clearly marked in the current IEP and the student is identified in the IEP as participating in Kentucky’s Alternate Assessment.
Once completed, move to these next steps:
-
Select File>Download>Microsoft Excel
-
Edit the spreadsheet with your district’s data
-
Save updated spreadsheets as “DistrictName_Window2.XLSX”
Note: Only one list containing all students who qualify for this accommodation should be provided per district.
All submissions must be made no later than Monday, Feb. 10, to receive these VI materials for the second Alternate Kentucky Summative Assessment Attainment Task window. Districts that submit late information or do not follow the above instructions may not receive these materials for Test Window 2 (Apr. 14-May 23) on time. Email submissions will not be accepted. If your district does not need any VI materials, please complete the Google Form and select "NO VI Orders Needed".
For any additional questions or concerns, please contact Krista Mullins or by phone at (502) 564-4394.
