[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thank you to the previous posters. I do understand what a standard deviation is. My question was regarding the role that it plays in the eligibility process. We do have an advocate from AJE. [/quote] Legally, it plays no role. The law does not allow the school to set a bar above which a child cannot receive services. Instead, the child is eligible if they has a disability that interferes with their ability to perform at their potential. However, schools set these illegal bars to deny services and save money. They get away with it because many parents do not know the law, and fighting the school can take a lot of time and money.[/quote]
