LD Blog

Karen Campbell of the Kentucky New Era reported about one of a series of meetings that the state department of education is holding around KY, seeking input about changes in state rules and regulations regarding special education. The list of topics reads like a summary of issues for many people.

Topics discussed included how to reach all children, what can be done to prevent disproportionate representation by race and ethnicity, how to ensure prompt coordination between schools for transfer students, should all districts follow set criteria for special education eligibility, how to define “functional” performance, when to begin addressing post-secondary transitions, and components of the Individualized Education Program (IEP).

Although there is a good bit about LD in her story, I had to wonder whether Campbell was using LD as a generic.
