How does a student qualify for the AEP Program?
Students must qualify for the program by scoring in the 95th percentile on a state approved test. The Cognitive Abilities Test is used to qualify students for services in grades 3-8. The Cognitive Abilities Test measures three areas – verbal abilities, qualitative abilities and non-verbal abilities. Students must score in the 95th percentile in at least one of those three areas in order to enter the program.
