Specific Learning Disabilities: Issues that Remain Unanswered

According to the American Child Development Institute, “Children who have an average or above average IQ and are reading one and a half grades or more below grade level may be dyslexic. According to school authorities, special educators are experienced in teaching physically challenged students; they lack theoretical and practical skills required for teaching learning disabled students. [...]the Gazette mentions which tests shall be used for the assessment of IQ for uniformity, but in case of SLD assessment, it should be left to the discretion and experience of the psychologists. [...]if appropriate and timely concessions are not used, students could be branded as having LDs, creating serious negative impact to their achievement and self-concept.
