Eligibility determination for a specific learning disability

A local education agency determination that a child has a specific learning disability includes the results of supplemental instruction as demonstrated by written documentation describing: 1. The nature of the child's achievement concerns and lack of progress; 2. Documentation, including data from interventions; 3. An explanation of the scientifically research-based practices used in the determination; 4. An explanation of the exclusionary factors that are not related to a learning disability but may impinge on the child's performance; and 5. The need for special education.
