The reading for Week 6 go into greater depth regarding documentation for students with learning disability labels. They address the implications IDEA 2004 and ADD AA (2008) have on documentation submitted to postsecondary institutions.
Although all of the articles where published after 2008 the authors sometimes cite articles published before 2008 as evidence to support their claims. This is not always a concern; however, I suggest that for now, and in the future, try to be primed for those dates. As you read, try to consider how such pre-2008 citations influence your assessment of the article. Do you think the evidence still stands or do you think the same study would produce different results?
The authors this week seem to want a consensus regarding documentation procedures and long for the established guidelines that are losing judicial support. The benefits of consensus are easier to identify, which is why I ask: What are some of the concerns and/or pitfalls?
Consider the influence IDEA 2004 and ADD AA (2008) has had in relation to documentation at the postsecondary level. Are the authors findings what you would have expected or are you surprised? What do you think might happen in the years to come?
Most of the articles addressed documentation considerations from the high school to postsecondary school transition. What are your thoughts regarding the postsecondary to the graduate school transition?
