Specific Learning Disability (SLD)

A Specific Learning Disability (SLD) is one of the eligibility categories under IDEA.

Students with an SLD may experience challenges in areas such as:

  • Reading (basic reading skills, fluency, comprehension)
  • Written expression
  • Mathematics (calculation or problem solving)
  • Listening comprehension
  • Oral expression

An SLD does not reflect intelligence. Many students with SLD demonstrate average or above-average cognitive ability but require specialized instruction to access the curriculum effectively.

What Is Special Education?

Special Education is specially designed instruction and related services provided to students who qualify under the federal law known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Special Education ensures eligible students receive:

  • Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)

  • Services in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)

  • An individualized plan through an Individualized Education Program (IEP)

Services are determined through a comprehensive evaluation process and are designed to meet the specific needs of each student.

Special Education Discipline Process

Kingsbury Country Day School follows the discipline procedures outlined under IDEA. These procedures ensure students with disabilities are treated fairly and continue to receive appropriate educational services when disciplinary action occurs.

Discipline procedures vary depending on the type and length of removal.
