Document Summary
Week 5 group and individual differences in intelligence. A major concept in this field is that a child average in intelligence may fail in school because of a specific deficit or disability that prevents learning. A learning disability is just one of the many types of disabilities that may entitle a child to receive special education services under the individuals with disabilities education and its state law counterparts. Prior to 2004 amendment of idea, schools were required to wait until a child fell considerably behind grade level before the child became eligible for special education services. Itpa assumes that failure to respond correctly to a stimulus can result not only from a defective output (response) system but also from a defective input or information- processing system. Assuming that a learning disability can occur at any level of processing, the illinois test theorizes that the child may be impaired in one or more specific sensory modalities.
