Identification of SLD

 

SPECIFIC LEARNING DISABILITY DEFINITION AND PROCESS

The two documents listed below provide criteria that must be followed in Michigan to determine the existence of a specific learning disability (SLD) for a student suspected to have a SLD. These criteria are used by the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET) to develop and produce an evaluation report and make a recommendation regarding eligibility to the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team. The MET evaluates a student suspected to have a SLD when a student has been referred for an initial evaluation or a change ineligibility as part of a reevaluation and the school district is in receipt of parental consent to evaluate.
