ACCESS for ELLs^®is a yearly large-scale suite of assesments that asses social and academic English language proficiency in four domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing for students who are identified at Multilingual Learners (NEP or LEP) in Kindergarten through 12th grade. This is a state required assessment that meets the federal requirements for monitoring English Learners.

WIDA Assessments Offered Online or Paper: Starting in 2024, paper versions of ACCESS are available only to students with an active IEP which state they require paper testing.  The Alternate ACCESS assessment as well as the Kindergarten ACCESS assessment are paper only.
