Traditional Eligibility Criteria for Identifying Students as Specific Learning Disabled.
Rivers, Diane; Smith, Tom E. C.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v21 n10 p642-44 Dec 1988
Assessment batteries of 200 elementary children with learning disabilities were analyzed to identify practices associated with the use of individual intelligence and achievement tests. Among conclusions: Many students identified as SLD have below-average intelligence, do not exhibit discrepancies on the Wechsler scale, and do not have severe discrepancies between achievement and ability.
