Abstract
ABSTRACT Schools are encountering a unique problem regarding how to best accommodate the increasing number of active bilingual learners/users of English (ABLE) students on state achievement tests. Previously, states used disability focused rather than language responsive accommodations for these students. The current study employed double-coding procedures to determine the number of tools, supports, and accommodations allowed for ABLE students across all U.S. states. Results revealed substantial heterogeneity of state practices, as some states demonstrated a decrease in the number of accommodations over time while some states offered more language responsive accommodations. Future research should continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the accommodations for ABLE populations.
