If the answer to both questions is “Yes”, then the child is eligible for special education and related services. If the child is determined to be eligible for special education and related services, evaluation results will assist in developing the content of the child's individualized education program including information on how the child is involved in and will progress in the general curriculum (or for a preschool child to participate in appropriate activities).

See the flow chart for EL. English Learner support does not mean a student has a learning disability but a language barrier.
