District Process for Determination of a Specific Learning Disability: 

Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Process: The district uses a Pattern of Strengths and
Weaknesses Process for the determination of a Specific Learning Disability for all buildings
and all grades in the district and includes the following: 

1.     The student does not achieve adequately for the student’s age or to meet State-approved
grade-level standards in one or more of the areas identified at 34 CFR §300.309(a)(1)(i) when
provided with learning experiences and instruction appropriate for the student’s age or
State-approved grade-level standards; and 

2.     The student exhibits a pattern of strengths and weaknesses in performance, achievement,
or both, relative to age, State-approved grade-level standards, or intellectual development, that
is determined by the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team to be relevant to the identification of a
Specific Learning Disability, using appropriate assessments, consistent with the IDEA Evaluation
Procedures and Additional Requirements for Evaluations and Reevaluations.
