Abstract

The IDEIA 2004 presents opportunities for change in our methods for improving the process of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) identification. While common approaches to improvement often focus on the assessment tools alone, consideration of stakeholder values and resource constraints are equally important to develop effective solutions that mitigate the challenges with SLD identification. In this article, we summarize the factors that exacerbate the SLD problem and present a tool that teams may find helpful as they work towards improved SLD identification methods.
