Abstract

Longstanding concerns among teachers and researchers involved with SLD determination center on aptitude-achievement discrepancy: teacher referral that employs local norms and student assessment that employs national norms. Some of the most pressing concerns facing SLD determination are focused on early intervention, the provision of appropriate learning experiences, and the non-categorical nature of identification implicit in some responsiveness to intervention (RTI) models.
