Zusammenfassung:The California Association of School Psychologists (CASP) responds to a critique of the Association’s Position Paper: Specific Learning Disabilities and Patterns of Strengths and Weaknesses (2014, March. Available: http://casponline.org/about-casp/publications/) by McGill and Busse. The CASP offers corrections to McGill and Busse’s three critiques and clarifies the Association position that the assessment of students suspected of having a Specific Learning Disability involves a comprehensive evaluation that provides information regarding both environmental factors that include data on instruction and interventions as well as within-child factors such as response to intervention and the student’s pattern of academic and specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
