Project Description:
In order to qualify a student for special education services under the learning disability category, it must be shown that he/she has a severe discrepancy between aptitude (IQ) and achievement. Estimator is a software program, developed for the State of Utah, that calculates severe discrepancy using a formula adopted by the State. Users input demographic information on the student along with intelligence and achievement test scores. Based on the information, the program generates a report describing the probability that the difference in the two scores represents a severe discrepancy. Under the current contract, CPD Outreach Division staff are providing technical assistance supporting the product and working with a State level committee in preparation for publishing the next version of Estimator.
