Volume 36, No. 4 April 2005 A bright IDEA? Key congressional effort preserves psychologists' rights under IDEA Table of Contents "The changes in IDEA call upon psychologists in schools to be advocates. Psychologists need to educate school districts about appropriate models." Ron Palomares APA Practice Directorate An alternative IDEA Changes to the disabilities education law mean psychologists might need to learn and support different assessment methods. BY MARK GREER Monitor Staff Print version: page 44 When Congress passed a new version of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) last year, it altered many aspects that affect the work of psychologists in elementary and secondary schools. Some psychologists' paperwork could decrease, for example, and others may be allowed to use e-mail to streamline the process of arranging meetings with parents ( see sidebar ). But no doubt the biggest change to affect practitioners is in how they assess children for learning disabilities. Under the revised law, school districts are no longer required to use the IQ-achievement discrepancy model to assess whether a child is learning disabled. As a result, psychologists working in schools that adopt new assessment methods must alter how they assess students, perhaps in ways they aren't familiar with. Psychologists have long debated the current assessment method, which uses the discrepancy between a student's cognitive and achievement test scores to assess learning disabilities. Some feel that model isn't effective, while others feel an imperfect model is better than the new models, which focus instead on student interventions but lack scientific proof that they work. As a result, some psychologists welcome a potential shift away from discrepancy models, while others remain wary.

For the past 24 years, Richard Wark has spent several months each year travelling to more than 100 colleges, universities, and job fairs around the country, recruiting teachers for schools in Georgia's DeKalb County. This year he's especially interested in finding math, science, special education (learning disabled/behaviorally disabled), and speech therapy majors. And even though DeKalb, a suburb of Atlanta, is offering beginner teachers $4,000 more than the national average of $23,000, he still finds many positions in critical areas hard to fill. "It's war out there. Everyone's competing for the same individuals," Wark says.
