<p>Computer-adaptive tests including the STAR Enterprise assessments are not appropriate for blind students because the student completing the test must be able to read the text visually; the Braille format is not compatible with computer-adaptive testing. To take a STAR Early Literacy or STAR Reading assessment, a student must be able to respond to on-screen prompts that assess the ability to read print-based text. STAR Math also requires that a student respond to visual representations of mathematics symbols and notations. Educators working with a student with a visual impairment are encouraged to evaluate the suitability of STAR for that particular student and decide on an appropriate course of action. </p>
<div>Each item in star testing prompts/predicts the next item, so downloading and creating a test each month is not possible. </div>

<div dir="ltr">I think this is reprehensible. According to OSEP the school district is out of compliance. I know that isn't your question but it is a big problem. <br></div>

<div>Hello all, </div>
<div>One of my schools using STAR testing to set and track learning benchmarks in both math and literacy skills for their students. It is expressly not recommended by renaissance learning that this system be used with blind individuals. However; I'd like to find something comparable that can be either loaded in her Braille Sense or made into hardcopy Braille for monthly benchmark testing. </div>
<div>Does anyone have ideas to help with this solution? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you, </div>
