Explanation

To confirm suspicions that little Susie may have a learning disability (LD), it is suggested to see if she has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and review it. An IEP is a legal document that outlines the specific educational support and accommodations provided to a student with a disability, including learning disabilities. Reviewing the IEP will provide valuable information about Susie's identified needs, goals, and recommended strategies for her academic success. This will help in understanding if Susie's behaviors and actions align with the identified LD and guide appropriate interventions and support.

Additionally, the frontal lobe is involved in higher cognitive functions such as problem-solving, decision-making, and social behavior, which are all important aspects of speech and communication.
