Our special interest group focuses on the issues and practices related to the inclusion of all students in educational assessments, including English learners, students with disabilities, English learners with disabilities, and other students with accessibility needs. We promote fairness, expanding equal opportunities, and supporting college, career, and community readiness. We are a committed group of students, researchers, and practitioners who care deeply about the field and the students we serve.

We hold an annual meeting during the ÐÜèÊÓÆµconference, and we communicate with SIG members throughout the year. Our newsletters and email announcements include job postings and relevant publication highlights, and ourÌýÌýpromotes discussion and allows member to share resources.
