[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 397295, member: 1550"] To qualify for Learning Disability (LD), the IQ must test 70 and above. 69 and below is CD, at least in our state. My son, however, had no great fit so they put him in a CD class although his IQ was above 69 and he learned so much and so fast with all the 1-1 attention that he is now mainstreamed and still keeping up with his peers. For him, CD meant tons of attention and learning at his own pace. Legally, that may be the only way she can get lower grade level work. I'm with Marg. I wouldn't worry about the label...the label can change. I'd do what I needed to do to get the help that she needs. She won't get as much with Learning Disability (LD). In fact, my dauaghter is Learning Disability (LD) and even with supports she has a hard time. My son was upgraded to Learning Disability (LD) in high school and he's really, really doing well, BUT he doesn't have lower level work. He has accommodations, but he has to do the same work as all the other kids do. He rarely uses his accomodations at all. In CD, he also had an aide, and he learned how to manage his work. CD doesn't mean much other than that the kids are allowed to work at their own levels. [/QUOTE]
