This fall it will be easier for parents and advocates to know what their district process is for determining if a child should be identified with Specific Learning Disabilities under IDEA. All districts must post what they do.
In a memorandum to all Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) and Public School Academies (PSAs), Eleanor White, Assistant Director of the Office of Special Education and Early Intervention Services is requiring them to provide public notice of district processes for determining Learning Disabilities, with an attached publication, “Michigan Criteria for Determining the Existence of a Specific Learning Disability”.
For more information, see the memo and attachment.
