A question re learning difficulty

Post Reply New Topic

I know that learning difficulty/disability(US) is indicated by someone having a spiky profile. What about people who have such a profile but the weaker score still falls in the average range? Would a learning difficulty have to involve below average performance in one domain, or is the spread in score itself enough to indicate a learning difficulty?

Not sure what you're talking about.

But to capsulize it: I think that what you're asking is something like this: "If you are genius in every area of your life except in one (lets say vision), but you are totally blind, then you might get disability. But if you're a genius in every other area of your life, but are only slightly near sighted, would you get disability?".

The answer to your question is "probably not". But I'm no lawyer.

I'm talking about a significant gap in IQ score between verbal and non-verbal/performance IQ. On thinking about it I lean to the position of if you are not impaired in one area ,but just have a significantly lower score, then you may well not have a learning difficulty.
