B) Individual Education Plans must address accommodations for students with identified learning disabilities.
C) Diagnostic testing has become increasingly important in identifying children with learning disabilities.
D) Cognitive abilities tests are used to help examine differences between how a student has done in school and what they are capable of doing. Such differences could be due to a learning disability.

PL94-142 (the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) and IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) require that students with learning disabilities be given accommodations within the least restrictive environment. This is reflected in choice A. Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are required to address accommodations for students with identified learning disabilities, which is reflected in choice B. Diagnostic testing has become increasingly important in identifying learning disabilities, and cognitive abilities tests are often used in this process, which is reflected in choices C and D. Therefore, all of these statements are true as a result of PL94-142 and IDEA.
