information on MCA modified verison

An alternate assessment based on alternate achievement standards, the Minnesota Test of Academic Skills (MTAS), is provided for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. A second alternate assessment, the MCA-Modified, which is based on modified achievement standards, is being developed. The MCA-Modified is being designed for a small group of students whose disability has precluded them from achieving grade-level proficiency. The first operational administration on the MCA-Modified is planned for spring 2011.

Would this be midway between expectations on MCA and MTAS or just a little lower than the MTAS? Do you find this valuable?
