IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR SPECIFIC LEARNING DISABILITY

The Columbia School District uses a pattern of strengths and weaknesses procedure for the identification of students suspected of meeting the state and federal requirements for programs and services in the area of Specific Learning Disability (SLD).
