MI-Access, Michigan's Alternate Assessment Program The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that all students with disabilities be assessed at the state level. If the state's general assessment is not appropriate, even with assessment accommodations, the IEP Team must determine how the student will be assessed.
In response to this legislation the Michigan State Board of Education approved the Michigan Educational Assessment System (MEAS). It has three components, Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP), MI-Access and English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA). MI-Access is designed for students for whom the IEP Team has determined that the MEAP assessments, even with assessment accommodations, are not appropriate for the student.
