Abstract | Students with specific learning disability ("SLD") account for approximately half of all students that districts have determined to be eligible for special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ("IDEA"). Since the late 1970s, the IDEA regulations have required states to use severe discrepancy--based on a comparison of the child's academic achievement, typically based on a standardized test, with the child's intellectual ability, typically based on an IQ test--as the primary but not exclusive criterion for determining SLD. The new regulations, issued in August 2006 to implement the 2004 amendments to the IDEA, provide significant changes in the determination of SLD eligibility. One of the new provisions concerns responsiveness to intervention ("RTI"), which is an alternate approach that starts with scientific, research-based instruction in general education and offers increasing levels of intervention based on continuous progress monitoring. Pending new state laws and published case law, this overview provides a user-friendly guide to the provisions in the 2004 amendments and the new IDEA regulations pertinent to SLD eligibility, including the role of RTI.
