Rule 6A-6.03018, F.A.C., is revised to change the procedures related to the identification and determination of eligibility for students with specific learning disabilities. Eligibility will no longer be based on a formula-based discrepancy between the student’s IQ score and achievement test scores. Instead, districts will be required to provide interventions via a problem-solving method and measure the student’s response to those interventions in order to make instructionally-relevant decisions and match resources, services, and interventions to student needs. Eligibility decisions will be based on the response to intervention process. An implementation transition period is included, with all schools meeting full implementation requirements by July 1, 2010.
