[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In other words, can a on-grade-level child qualify under Maryland law for specific learning disability based on achievement/ability discrepancy? Thanks!!![/quote] Yes, if the ability is higher than the actual achievement. If the achievement is higher than the IQ suggests is expected, then even if the child is doing poorly, the child does not qualify. My oldest did not qualify for an IEP the first time around because he was functioning at a far higher level than his IQ suggested was possible. A few years and another IQ test later and he has an IEP. His scores were right on the fence but most of the team advocated for the IEP because it was obvious he needed it. OTOH, my younger son has a high IQ and passes everything. He is in above grade level math and English. But, because he has difficulty accessing the curriculum without supports and services, he has had an IEP since he was little. Good luck OP. I hope your meeting goes well. [/quote]
