[QUOTE="buddy, post: 499110, member: 12886"] sorry I called her a he...oops. Yes, for Learning Disability (LD) that is true it is the gap that matters....in terms of qualification criteria that is... in real life???? I was just wondering if in general people had predjudices about whether or not kids with lower IQ were limited in potential just based on those numbers or a certain diagnosis like Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) etc. You are probably right in this case that it referred to her not qualifying for Learning Disability (LD) if the gap was too little. Still goes to the whole... Is IQ a valid measure for many groups of people??? question as well... Thanks for responding. Just feels sad sometimes that value of people is based on cognitive ability. Like the little girl who is being denied a kidney transplant due to her diagnosis of Mental Retardation. How can we judge people based on that? It is a big question and really reflects our values as a society in general. Thanks for your thoughts. I really dont know why it puts me in a funk. [/QUOTE]
