Position: Paraeducator Teacher Administrator Other

1. Can a student be identified as having both a mentally handicapped and a specific learning disability?

2. Are there reasons other than a disability which might cause poor performance in school? Please give some examples.

3. Can students whose school performance is at a level above the average student meet the criteria for participation in special education programs?

4. Do you think that classifying students into a disability label provides information for teachers and paraeducators which they can use in dealing with the student?

5. What alternative kinds of support does your school have for students who are having difficulty but do not qualify for special education?
