SLD 2020
Beginning July 1, 2020, North Carolina no longer uses an IQ-Achievement Discrepancy Model for identification of students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD). Instead, we will use what is known as an Instructional Model for SLD identification. This model requires the application of multiple sources of data, including educational history, universal screening data, response to intervention and progress monitoring data, and observational data, to determine whether a student may qualify for EC as a student with an SLD.
