      <title>Identifying and Supporting Struggling Students: Differentiating Language Needs and Learning Disabilities J.Haynes by Jabari Haynes</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/jhaynes76/dddilz3jc90hvhu0</link>
      <description>This flowchart illustrates the process teachers can follow to identify and support struggling students in the classroom. It highlights the importance of gathering background information, collaborating with families, and monitoring progress before moving to more formal interventions. The chart also shows how to differentiate between a Language Need (LN) when a student is developing English proficiency and a Learning Disability (LD) when difficulties persist across subjects and languages despite support. By following these steps, teachers can provide targeted interventions, partner with families, and make informed decisions about referral to special education services.</description>
