1. People with learning disabilities always have lower than average intelligence.

Explanation

The intellectual functioning of individuals with learning disabilities varies from student to student and can range from below average to above average. Typically, but not always, students will demonstrate an uneven pattern of cognitive development. That is to say that some students may demonstrate better verbal intelligence than nonverbal intelligence. This uneven pattern may explain why some children with learning disabilities are able to excel in one academic area, like math, and struggle in another, like reading.

Dyslexia is a term that generally describes any reading disorder. Learning disabilities may affect areas other than reading; for example, math or written language. In addition, learning disabilities are educationally defined and some students with 'dyslexia' may meet the requirement for identification for special education services as a learning disabled student, while others may not.

Some of the factors that are considered as part of the evaluation include: family and medical history, attendance, school history, current and prior academic progress, response to interventions, classroom observation, and results from individually administered assessments in the areas of cognitive processing and academic achievement. Additional assessments in other areas may also be conducted. The results of the comprehensive evaulation are reviewed by the team to identify a learning disability.
