The Connecticut Alternate Assessment System (CTAA, CTAS and CAAELP)  

CAAELP Resources

 

Beginning with the 2022-23 school year, Connecticut’s K-12 students identified in the Public School Information System (PSIS) as English learners/ Multilingual learners and who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) documenting a significant cognitive disability may be considered for the CAAELP Assessment.

Connecticut’s CAAELP assessment may also be referenced as Alt ELPA is some resources. For Connecticut’s testing purposes these are synonymous. If a Connecticut specific resource is available please consider it first because it includes Connecticut’s policies and guidance.
