Product Description:

Federal special education regulations require that a severe discrepancy between aptitude (IQ) and achievement be identified as one criteria for qualifying a student eligible for speical education under the category specific learning disability. Estimator-NJ is a software program for making the lengthy calculations necessary to determine if a student has a severe discrepancy under a suggested NJ formula. The formula is a modified version of one recommended by the U.S. Office of Special Education Programs Work Group on Measurement Issues in the Assessment of Learning Disabilities. Users input demographic information on the student along with aptitude and achievement scores. The software makes rapid and accurate calculations, and generates a report documenting how discrepancy was measured and whether it can be considered severe. Technical and explanatory reports can also be generated.
