Definitions and Criteria Used by State Education Departments for Identifying Specific Learning Disabilities
… methods of identifying SLD, specifically the severe discrepancy model or the pattern of strengths and weaknesses model. Overall, there has been a slight, but statistically significant decrease in the SLD prevalence rates since the response to intervention model has been in place.</p>

An exploratory study to determine best practices in implementing response to intervention
… Learning Disability (SLD) was to determine if a severe discrepancy existed between a child's achievement and intellectual ability. Concerns with the IQ discrepancy model have led to changes in the special education code to also include a child's response to scientific, researched-based …

Identification of specific learning disability in New Jersey: an illuminative evaluation
… data reveals that there is a strong reliance on severe discrepancy (SD) methods in the identification of SLD within NJ, a finding that conflicts with current research about the diagnosis of reading disability. The study shows a very slow progression in the growth of RTI programs, a practice that …

Integrated silicon photonic two-dimensional grating couplers
… of around 10 µm. In addition, there is a severe discrepancy between the polarization natures of both optical modes. While the external SMF supports a mode with two orthogonal, degenerated polarization states, the integrated Si waveguides and remaining components are mostly designed for the …
