We have until 2013 to officially approve the Response to Intervention for Learning Disabilities Model in each of our school buildings. I would like to plan for the implementation of this model hopefully at start of Second Semester of 11-12 for one building and at start of 12-13 for all of our school buildings.
At present we are using the significant discrepancy model between Ability (IQ score) and Achievement Level (Woodcock Johnson III score for example). There has to be a significant discrepancy between IQ and Achievement in one of the following areas: Basic Reading Skills, Reading Comprehension, Reading Fluency, Written Expression, Oral Expression, Listening Comprehension, Math Calculation, and Math Reasoning. There does not have to be a two year delay behind grade or age level peers for students to receive LD services.
