 | | This report summarizes the consensus statements developed by the Learning Disabilities Roundtable, coordinated by the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), which convened on February 4 —5, 2002 and June 17-18, 2002 in Washington, D.C., as part of the OSEP Research to Practice Learning Disabilities Initiative. |
 | | Through the Roundtable process, consensus was achieved regarding the lack of scientific evidence to support an IQ-achievement discrepancy formula as the basis for identification, classification and providing special education and related services to students with specific learning disabilities. |
 | | There was, however, general consensus for the need to expand and replicate these pilots, and to explore a variety of alternative identification approaches, as well as to propose ways to accomplish large-scale implementation. |
