The Competencies Needed By Persons Responsible for Classifying Children With Learning Disabilities

Walter J. Cegelka, Ed.D

University of Missouri, St. Louis

Placement decisions regarding children with learning disabilities rest heavily on the assessment data generated by school psychologists and related psychological personnel. Critics contend that current tests do not accurately measure or predict learning and that large numbers of children continue to be incorrectly classified. This article delineates the training and competencies individuals should possess if they have primary responsibility for classification and placement decisions.
