Identification of Gifted Students with Learning Disabilities in a Response-to-Intervention Era.
The identification of children who are twice-exceptional—those who are gifted and have concomitant learning disabilities (LDs)—has historically posed a number of challenges for school psychologists and other school personnel. With the reauthorization of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act and the shift to the use of a Response-to-Intervention (RtI) model to identify students with LDs, the task of identifying those who are twice exceptional is even more daunting. This article proposes an integrated model for the identification of gifted children with LDs that blends standardized assessment methods with practices consistent with RtI. This balanced approach brings together the best of both worlds to more accurately identify twice-exceptional students and better meet their educational needs. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Application of attribute recognition method for evaluating on sustained developmental degree of water resource systems.
Taking Ping Ba area as an example, this paper explores the method of comprehensive evaluation on sustained developmental extent of water resources systems and sets up an evaluation model by applying the attribute recognition theoretical model The result shows that it is coherence to the result of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, meanwhile, this method is easy and understood, and it suit for evaluating on system quality with standardsKey words: water resources systems; attribute recognition theoretical model; fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method
