Barriers to valid assessment:

Technology environment (learning platforms, software applications etc). that do not integrate well with assistive technology (AT)

Layout (environment and instrument) with poorly designed navigation, information, cues and questions that can cause missed or incorrect responses

System lock-downs that provide exam security also disallow AT, preventing students using AT from accessing environment

Content (items within the testing instrument) not coded to accepted W3C standards limiting access to and/or interactivity with information
