Abstract | The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) represent an unparalleled opportunity for students with disabilities. But this opportunity will be realized only if states, districts, and schools approach the implementation of these standards with forethought and careful planning, particularly for students with disabilities. The CCSS were developed for all K-12 students, including those with disabilities. But people often ask whether this really means all students with disabilities who are served in public schools. Does it mean students with intellectual disabilities as well as those with learning disabilities? Does it include students with significant cognitive disabilities as well as those with milder disabilities? As these questions suggest, students with disabilities are a diverse group of students. Most of them are students whose disabilities should not interfere with them attaining the same standards and outcomes as students without disabilities--as long as they receive access to the curriculum with the supports and accommodations needed to reduce any barriers to learning due to their disabilities. From the beginning, the developers of CCSS declared that the standards were for all students, including those with disabilities. The standards developers created documents that clarified how the standards were to be applied to these groups of students. Recommendations for state policymakers to ensure that the opportunities of CCSS are realized for students with disabilities are offered. (Contains 1 figure, 5 online resources and 17 endnotes.)
