The Science and Practice of Identifying Specific Learning Disabilities

September 20 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm MDT

Variable

What method is best for identifying learning disabilities? A new consensus is emerging!

The 2004 reauthorization of IDEA allowed for new methods of specific learning disability identification. Twenty years later, the field continues to be divided on what method is “best” and the literature would suggest that the Response to Intervention (RTI) and Patterns of Strengths and Weaknesses (PSW) “camps” agree on little. Four noted researchers in the field have spent time in deep discussion of the issue and will share their insights and the common ground they have discovered, including thoughts on moving the field forward, during this virtual Science to Practice Symposium.
