Assessments need to be able to be measured. In the one-minute timed assessments like AIMSweb or DIBLES, schools are first checking to see if your child exhibits any red flag characteristics. If so, then they can address them. This is how your child received the accommodations in the first place. 


However, we do want to make sure that intervention strategies are still working. For some measures, time is still a very integral part of the assessment. Because of the data, your child scored at XX score in the Fall of their second grade year. As a parent, we want to know that your child scores at XX+ in the Winter and in the Spring. If they do not, then the interventions that have been in place to this point, have not been working. No one wants to see the child’s scores go to XX-. Once accommodations have been put in place, during these 1 minute assessments, the purpose of the time is to see how the child compares against themselves.
