As promised in a SELS message dated September 25, 2007, the Division of
Special Education has developed an FAQ to answer questions we have received
from the field regarding the recently posted State Normative Data for Sound
System Disorder (SSD) and the use of that data as well as other
considerations when making eligibility determinations under the categorical
label of Sound System Disorder.
The FAQ can be accessed at the following web address:
http://dese.mo.gov/divspeced/PDF/SSQA.pdf.
We hope the information contained in this document clarifies the process for
identifying children as eligible under the category of SSD. We will continue
to add to our guidance regarding SSD eligibility determination
as we receive further questions from the field.
