Welcome to the newly designed topic page dedicated to supporting high expectations, instruction, and assessment for students with significant cognitive disabilities (SCD). All of your old favorite resources from the Assessing Students with Disabilities Statewide topic page are here, with a few new resources added. Be sure to take a look at three new resources and hyperlinks, located under the Instructional Resources tab.

This topic page is under construction, so new resources for teaching academic content for students with SCD will be coming soon. Over the next few months, you will also see some of the old resources updated and reorganized. I look forward to expanding this SCD topic page to support you in your journey teaching students with SCD.
