If Your Child is Struggling in school start a free trial of the Learning Success System
Discover who qualifies for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) without delving into lengthy regulations. Rinka from Learning Success breaks down the essentials for you!
IEP Eligibility and IDEA
Navigating the world of IEPs can be complex, but at its core, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) sets the foundation. For a child to qualify, they must be of school age, have a recognized disability, and need specialized education due to it.
Unraveling the IEP mystery: IDEA sets the criteria, but it's more than just having a disability.
The Tiered Intervention Process
Before considering an IEP, there’s a structured system in place. It begins with teacher-led strategies, from accommodating learning styles to using technology for engagement. If challenges persist, targeted interventions like small group lessons come into play. And if those don’t suffice, intensive individualized interventions, possibly involving specialists, are explored.
Embracing brilliance and unleashing potential is at the heart of why we do what we do at Learning Success.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
