A study was conducted to learn about using portfolio assessment with individuals with mental retardation. Data was collected from eight school sites. The participants were teachers, parents, and students with mental retardation who were involved with the portfolio assessment process. Data collection consisted of surveys, interviews, and observations. Results indicated that portfolio assessment may help foster self-determination in individuals with mental retardation.
