In Pennsylvania, does a district have to have documentation somewhere that specifies how they identify kids for RTI versus IEP versus nothing? Is that something that has to b in the special education plan they send to the PDE every couple of years? I know IDEA says you don't need academic failure, but in the case of 2e kids it's hard to hit whatever magic testing threshold the District is looking for to warrant an IEP because "average" on language processing evaluations is dismissed because WISC Verbal Comprehension Index is over 130 and there is likely some self-compensation going on.
