Identification of Speech or Language Impairments-CANCELLED

As of August 1, 2021, Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams must use the new criteria to identify a speech or language impairment for referrals for special education. A summary of the changes for the Speech or Language Impairment Rule will be addressed and suggested resources will be provided. Of note, the language in the rule was revised to highlight the need to use culturally and linguistically responsive assessment practices in determining speech-language differences from speech-language disorders for students who are culturally and linguistically diverse.

This new criterion will be required for all evaluations when school starts. Make sure your staff is aware of the new criteria and how it will impact English Learners! Register to attend this virtual training now!
