Abstract	In response to new provisions in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), this issue describes the promising special education research that is helping all students participate successfully in large-scale testing programs. The first article, "State-Wide Assessment Programs," discusses the new provisions in IDEA that require states to have policies and procedures to ensure that children with disabilities are included in general state- and district-wide assessment programs. Promising approaches that states are using to make appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities are explained, such as accommodations related to timing or scheduling, assessment setting, response format, and presentation format. Alternate assessments and different ways of reporting results are described, and recommendations for developing alternative assessment systems are provided. A second article, "Views from the Field," summarizes different views on implementation issues and concerns about including children with disabilities in large-scale assessments. Views are presented from a parent, a researcher, and school psychologists. A final article "State-Wide Efforts," discusses efforts in Kentucky, Maryland, and Hawaii to include all children in large-scale assessments. A list of contacts on the referenced research in this issue is included. (CR)
