IDEA 2004 added the Response to Intervention (RTI) approach as an alternative method to evaluate children with a learning disability. This approach involves monitoring a child's progress over time through implementation of research-based interventions and making decisions based on the child's response to these interventions. The discrepancy approach (B) is the traditional method of evaluating children with learning disabilities, which involves comparing a child's cognitive ability and achievement levels. The Social skills approach (A) and IPM approach (D) are not recognized methods of evaluating children with learning disabilities under IDEA 2004.
