[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 428492, member: 11001"] Have not read all the responses. Hope I am not redundant. What were the tests. Woodcock? WISC? I use to see 2 things when I was Special Education teacher that fall out of this gentlemans definition of Learning Disability (LD) yet are very Learning Disability (LD)- 1. Many" hills and valleys" in the cognitive testing can indicate processing issues that cause learning problems. The overall all IQ is normal, but some subtests are much higher than others. This can often translate to LDs, esp. the older they are and the more demanding the curriculum. 2. The cognitive functioning hovers around 80 or 85. Not low enough for intellectual disabilities, but because the cognitive functioning is suppressed there is no huge difference between their cognitive function and actual achievement. Spelling issues can [B]sometimes[/B] be related to visual memory deficits. Spelling problems in the English language are difficult to remediate. Glad he took her and will help her! [/QUOTE]
