Address Number of Non -Disabled Children That Are Over-Identified
and Misidentified

4GL School Solutions (4GL), the leading provider of comprehensive
management solutions for special populations in K-12 education , today
announces ENCORE!(TM) Intervention and ENCORE!(TM) 504.
Indeed, a key requirement of the recent Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) reauthorization is that K-12 school
districts address the critical issue of students who are
over-identified or misidentified in terms of special education
requirements.
ENCORE! Intervention records intervention plans to address each
student 's learning or behavioral difficulties, including the
strategies to be executed, persons responsible for executing the
interventions, start and end dates, and frequency of services.

Building on the immense success of ENCORE! 's dynamic business
process solution for special education, ENCORE! Intervention helps
school districts establish a consistent pre-referral intervention
process to ensure interventions are developed, implemented and
reviewed before initiating a formal, special education evaluation. It records such information as
the student's impairment, accommodations, persons responsible for
carrying out the plan, and start and end dates. Building upon its deep
expertise in special education, 4GL helps school districts more
effectively manage the individualized learning process for all
students receiving special services or interventions, including
special education, at-risk, Section 504 and Limited English Proficient
(LEP) students.

program builds on successful strategies.
