Specific Learning Disability Guidelines - 

In 2010, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) released the Michigan Criteria for Determining the Existence of a Specific Learning Disability.  These criteria outlined the options districts may select in order to determine the presence of a SLD.  Consistent with Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Michigan Administrative Rules for Special Education (MARSE), the Michigan Criteria also endorsed the use of identification through either the process of the student’s response to research based interventions or a pattern of strengths and weaknesses.  The purpose of the current document is to provide clarification and guidance for parents and school teams within Ionia County Intermediate School District on the local implementation of the previously discussed Federal and State legislation and MDE Criteria.
