What Do I Need To Do ?
ACCESS
POINTS
What are Access Points?
• Expectations written for students with
significant cognitive disabilities (SWSCD) to
access the general education curriculum.
• Aligned directly to Sunshine State Standards.
• Reflect the “core intent” of the standards with
reduced levels of complexity.
• Have three levels of complexity: participatory,
supported, and independent with the
participatory level being the least complex.
Who are access points
designed for?
• Only students with significant
cognitive disabilities
• Students who meet criteria for
alternate assessment
• Other students with disabilities
should be working on the regular
SSS with accommodations as
necessary

ACCESS COURSES
Revisions in the Use of 7700, 7800,
and 7900 Course Codes
March 26, 2010
• The 2011-2012 Course Directory clearly
defines the students for whom the 7700,
7800, and 7900 courses may be
used. The newly adopted language is:
• "Access courses are intended only for students
with the most significant cognitive disabilities
who are eligible under IDEA and meet the Florida
Alternate Assessment criteria set forth in the
Florida Statutes and State Board of Education Rule
6A-1.0943. "
Cont’d Course Revisions
• To meet these new FLDOE compliance requirements, only
students with disabilities who meet exemption criteria from
the FCAT and are assessed using the Florida Alternate
Assessment may be enrolled in the 7700, 7800, and 7900
Access core courses.
• Students with disabilities who do not meet exemption criteria
from the FCAT or other state assessments may NOT be
enrolled in the 7700, 7800, and 7900 core courses. Core
courses include all math, reading, language arts, English,
science, and social studies courses.

Compliance with course code requirements for scheduling students with disabilities into core subjects.

General education should be the first consideration when determining placement for students with
disabilities.
To the maximum extent appropriate, core instruction should be delivered in the general
education classroom to students with disabilities.
Students with disabilities struggling with core instruction should participate in the same supplemental
instruction and academic interventions as do general education students.
For students with disabilities who participate in FCAT and DO NOT meet exemption criteria, general
education course codes must be used for core subjects.
7000 level core courses (7700, 7800, 7900) are intended only for students with the most significant
cognitive disabilities who are eligible under IDEA and meet the Florida Alternate Assessment
criteria.
o Attached please find a list of all activated 7000 level core courses; all newly activated courses
are designated with an asterisk.
o A recommended scope and sequence for all secondary students with significant
cognitive disabilities accessing 7000 level courses is also attached.
SECONDARY:
o General education course codes used for students in separate SPED classes taught by a SPED
teacher must be hard-coded line 200.
o General education course codes used for students in general education classes taught by
a general education teacher are NOT hard-coded line 200.
ELEMENTARY:
o SPED ESAP program numbers are only used when students with disabilities have one or more
separate/pullout SPED classes.
o Regular ESAP program numbers are used for students with disabilities in general education for
all courses.
o SPED teachers should be reflected ONLY for courses in pullout settings; general education
courses being taught in general education should reflect the general education teacher.
o SPED ESAP program numbers do NOT have to be manually hard-coded line 200; the hardcode is integrated programmatically into the program number.
All hard-coded basic courses taught by a SPED teacher will appear in ISIS PF4 which is updated every
Friday night.
Course code requirements must be reflected in scheduling of core courses for students with disabilities.
