Jane Doe has struggled with reading and learning to talk as early as preschool. During her second grade year in the Cape Elizabeth School District it was determined that she was eligible to receive special education under the IDEA as a student with an SLD based on a deficit in her reading fluency. Due to this, Jane's IEP team (Individualized Education Program) developed an IEP focusing on specialized instruction to improve her reading fluency skills. With support from the school, her parents, and her hard-work, Jane was able to successfully improve her reading skills over the next five school years, not only performing well at the school level, but also performing well on standardized assessments.

A fair trial requires that the jury consider only the evidence relevant to the issues. Ford v. Gordon, 990 S.W.2d 83, 85 (Mo. Ct. App. 1999). Evidence is relevant only if it “tends to prove or disprove a fact at issue” or bears on the witness’s credibility. Id. For example, while a witness’s reputation for being truthful is relevant, the witness’s character flaws unrelated to truthfulness are not; such evidence is usually offered only to prejudice the jury. State v. Eisele, 414 S.W.3d 507, 515 (Mo. Ct. App. 2013) (holding that evidence of witness’s use of profanity was irrelevant to witness’s credibility

Here’s what- The student I performed the DIEBALS Benchmark Assessment on was a fourth-grade girl who can sometimes be hyper, but overall is well behaved and willing to learning. For privacy purposes, we will call her Jane Doe. Jane accurately read 26 words out of 31 on the first reading passage, 25 out of 44 on the second, and 30 out of 40 on the last reading passage. After finding the median of the scores, Jane had a 72% accuracy reading on the Oral Reading Assessment with a Median Retell Quality score of 1. Additionally, Jane answered 6 out of 8 questions correctly on the DAZE assessment. Jane’s scores placed her below the cut point of risk for the first benchmark assessment of her fourth grade year.

While all children can be referred for evaluation for special education, not all are found to be eligible. The student will be tested in all areas related to the child’s assumed disability by the multidisciplinary educational team. In order to be eligible for special education services, the child’s assume disability has to impact the child’s ability to learn. Parents represent the child’s interests. They need to stay informed and involved in their child’s education. IDEA of 2004 strengthened the role, as well as the responsibility, of parents and ensures that they and their families have opportunities to participate in their child’s education. IDEA also protects the rights of parents by ensuring that they can be members of the IEP teams. Parents can be involved in the evaluations and placements of their children and have a say in what happens.
IDEA also required that each learning disabled child have an IEP, Individualized Education Program. An IEP is a document that must include current performance of the student, the annual goals the student needs to achieve, special education and related services the child needs, participation, if any, with nondisabled children, modifications needed to take state tests, dates and places of when and where special services will be provided and the measuring progress of the child. Before a student can have an IEP, they first must be labeled as a student with a learning disability.
