Why is an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan not accepted as documentation for a learning disability?
An IEP or 504 Plan is insufficient documentation but can be included as a supplement to a comprehensive assessment of tests. The SDRC is looking for a comprehensive assessment battery and the resulting diagnostic report, which must include a diagnostic interview, assessment of aptitude, measure of academic achievement and information processing.
