Great question Suzi. Remember that there is a difference between child find and being found eligible. The district may be required to assess a student even if they have not yet received and exhausted general education resources, but one of the exclusionary factors under SLD is that the student must require special education and their needs cannot be met within the general education setting. If you have a student you are evaluating and they have needs that could be met possibly within the general education interventions, the team can find the student not eligible at the time and try the interventions. Does this help?
