Measuring Success by the Essential Elements Standards Students who take DLM assessments are instructed and assessed on Essential Elements. Essential Elements are grade-specific expectations about what students with the most significant cognitive disabilities should know and be able to do. The Essential Elements relate to college and career readiness standards for students in the general population.

Students are encouraged to spend 15-20 minutes daily on one of the additional reading resources for literacy practice and homework assignments.
