New SLD identification model: Wayne County uses CHC theory for cognitive component

Many school districts are working to implement the new IDEA law and regulations regarding SLD identification in the context of a Tier-based Response to Intervention (RTI) model.  Today I learned of on school system (Wayne County) that uses, for the cognitive strenghts and weaknesses component, the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model.  Information regarding their system can be found at their web page. 

I would be interested in hearing of other school systems that have organized the cognitive pattern of strengths and weaknesses SLD component around the CHC model.  Contact me at iap@earthlink.net if you would have something to share and that I could share with IQs Corner readers.
