A DirectSTEP^® eLearning course from LRP

This course covers issues that arise after a child has been deemed eligible for special education and related services because of a specific learning disability (SLD). Thus, for purposes of this course, general education interventions have already been exhausted and the child underwent a special education evaluation and was found eligible for services under the IDEA. Now the child's IEP team must determine an appropriate placement that delivers services in the least restrictive environment and must determine how best to meet the child's unique needs. Common issues that arise during or after the development of the IEP include whether a specific educational methodology must be used and the child’s entitlement to specific accommodations and services related to his SLD, such as assistive technology and extended school year services.
