The purpose of this qualitative study is to research the perceptions of elementary school teachers and school psychologists about the influence of poverty on the special education identification process. Participants included K-6 teachers and school psychologists employed by one school district in southeastern Pennsylvania. A total of 24 participants,20 general education teachers, two special education teachers, and two school psychologists, completed an online, researcher-designed survey consisting of demographic questions, 24 Likert-scale statements and four open-ended questions. Seven respondents participated in the researcher-designed interview. The perception of 20 out of 24 participants (83.3%) was that children of poverty were more likely to be identified with a learning disability. Despite this perception, the laws that guide the identification of learning disabilities list "economic disadvantage" specifically as an exclusionary factor for disability identification. Ryan (2013) stated "if either the discrepancy or the failure to respond is 'primarily the result' of the exclusionary factors, including "economic disadvantage," the students are not supposed to be identified as learning disabled" (p. 31). It is widely accepted in the field of education that leaming disabilities are intrinsic and not caused by external factors. The results of this study indicated students of poverty were in need of academic supports due to a decrease in both literacy exposure and resources. Teachers reported not feeling confident in the identification process, as well as the veracity of the student being identified with a disability as a result. Additional research is needed to investigate the best resources for students living in poverty and how to best prevent these struggling students from falling behind in the first place.

Identification of Learning Disabilities: Research to Practice is the remarkable product of a learning disabilities summit conference convened by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) in August 2001 and the activities following that summit. Both the conference and this book were seen as important preludes to congressional reauthorization of the historic Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) scheduled for 2002 and subsequent decision making surrounding implementation. The OSEP conference brought together people with different perspectives on LD (parents, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers) and resulted in this book, which examines the research on nine key issues concerning the identification of children with learning disabilities. Coverage includes alternative responses to treatment, classification approaches, processing deficit models, and approaches to decision making. Chapter Structure-- Each of the first nine chapters is organized around a lengthy, issue-oriented paper, which presents the most current research on that topic. These primary papers are then followed by four respondent papers that reflect a variety of viewpoints on the topic. Summarizing Chapter -- A small group of researchers (listed in the final chapter) dedicated an enormous amount of time to summarizing the research and developing key consensus statements regarding the identification of children with learning disabilities. Their work is sure to have a tremendous impact on future discussions in this area. Expertise-- The following well-known scholars have helped summarize the vast amount of research presented in this book as well as the consensus statements derived therefrom: Lynne Cook, Don Deshler, Doug Fuchs, Jack M. Fletcher, Frank Gresham, Dan Hallahan, Joseph Jenkins, Kenneth Kavale, Barbara Keogh, Margo Mastopieri, Cecil Mercer, Dan Reschley, Rune Simeonsson, Joe Torgesen, Sharon Vaughn, and Barbara Wise.

"This book is the perfect guide for those administrators and teachers who are truly interested in equalizing educational opportunities at all levels." —Rebecca S. Compton, Professor of Elementary Education East Central University Proven strategies for increasing the academic performance of students with low school-readiness skills! Children of low socioeconomic status often enter school with low school-readiness skills, leading them to be misidentified as learning disabled. Educators in Grades K–12 can allocate resources for special education services more effectively and meet the needs of low SES students by preventing students from being placed in the wrong program and by providing readiness supports. Offering an in-depth look at schools that have realized effective results in remarkable time frames, the authors challenge educators and parents to consider how low expectations can affect student achievement—and emphasize optimism as a necessary tenet of schools′ day-to-day teaching/learning programs and school-community relationships. This resource provides: Training resources for teaching low SES students Assessment tools for identifying learning needs Strategies for building relationships of trust and collaboration throughout the school community Data charts that illustrate the increase in student achievement from schoolwide initiatives A bibliography and glossary of pertinent research and terminology With these strategies and tools, schools can meet the developmental and environmental needs of their most vulnerable students and watch student achievement and confidence soar!
