HCSI 2022 Individual Recorded Session: Identification of Specific Learning Disabilities: A Summary of Research on Best Practices

Specific learning disability (SLD) is the most common eligibility category through which students receive special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. In this session, we review evidence for different frameworks for SLD identification, including cognitive discrepancy frameworks and frameworks based, in part, on instructional response. We then discuss a “hybrid” identification method based on documentation of three criteria for eligibility: (1) low academic achievement; (2) inadequate instructional response; and (3) a consideration of exclusionary clauses. The session ends with recommendations for comprehensive assessment regardless of the framework employed.

 

This is a recorded session from the Hill Country Summer Institute 2022 conference, which may be viewed anytime 6/22/22 through 8/15/22.  This recorded session has a short quiz following the recording in order to give asynchronous credit.
