The Alternate Proficiency Level Descriptors (Alternate PLDs) are an extension of the PLDs found in the WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Standards, 2020 Edition, and describe the continuum of language development for ELs with the most significant cognitive disabilities.

WIDA, with the help of classroom educators, created these proficiency levels to be unique to WIDA Alternate ACCESS.
