Establishes requirements concerning methods for determining whether student has specific learning disability under federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

This bill updates New Jersey's rules for identifying students with specific learning disabilities by aligning state procedures with federal requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It allows school districts to use three identification methods, including response to scientific interventions and alternative research-based procedures, while prohibiting the use of a severe discrepancy between intellectual ability and achievement as the sole criterion starting in the fourth school year after enactment. The legislation also mandates that evaluations be comprehensive and include assessments of basic psychological processes, and requires the State Board of Education to create regulations implementing these changes.
