Riassunto:

Get your students the support they need!

One size does not fit all for helping students with learning disabilities—and it doesn’t work for identifying learning disabilities either. This practical, easy-to-use handbook offers a comprehensive plan, guiding general educators, special educators, administrators, and school psychologists through the eligibility and evaluation stages that ensure students get the best services and support they need to be successful. You’ll find:

• Guidance on what data to collect and how to collect it
• Strategies for combining RTI with a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose SLD
• Detailed case studies—with graphs, figures, and test scores—at the school, classroom, and individual student level
