Q: Title1 services = identification to qualify for special education services ?
If a student is referred to and receives Title 1 services is that student then considered having been identified for the purpose of qualifying for special education services?
A: No. If a student is receiving Title 1 services, that means they may be at risk of failing, which could affect the Title 1 money the school receives from the federal government. In order for a child to be identified as qualifying for special education services, a school would have to notify the parent of wanting to test the child to determine whether the child has a disability. The school must receive parental consent in order to conduct the testing, or go through with a special education hearing if consent is not given. If your child hasn't been tested to determine whether he has a disability, he has not been identified by the school/teacher.
