A school system has been using the same system for special education identification that had been mandated by prior versions of IDEIA. In order to qualify, a student had to be given both an IQ an achievement test. They noticed with this method a lot of students were struggling but not getting the help they needed, so they began looking into other methods. School officials determined there was an
alternative method under the new revision of IDEIA that did not require the use of an IQ test. What is the criteria for education eligibility under the old method the school used and what is the eligibility criteria under the method they wish to implement.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should include:
Old Method = IQ/Achievement Discrepancy Model
New Method = Process that measures a student's response to research based interventions or RTI
