IDEA 2004 removed the discrepancy provision for identifying students with learning disabilities from federal legislation. This means that schools can no longer use a discrepancy between a student's cognitive ability and achievement to determine if they have a learning disability. Instead, schools must use a multi-tiered system of supports that includes scientifically-based interventions and progress monitoring to evaluate if a student has a learning disability.
