Developmental Issues Surrounding Severe Discrepancy.

Parrill, Melinda

Learning Disabilities Research, v3 n1 p32-42 Win 1987

The article reviews the role of development and individual differences in the concept of discrepancy as applied to the differential diagnosis of learning disabilities. It is concluded that discrepancy may be better used within learning disabilities rather than in distinguishing between learning disabilities and other handicapping conditions. (Author/JW)
