Abstract

Complete agreement among professionals regarding the characteristics of learning disabilities and how those characteristics should be measured has yet to be attained. While a number of formulae based on standardized test scores have been proposed, none has been satisfactory for a variety of reasons. A model for identifying learning disabilities is presented in this paper which combines use of psychometric information with clinical judgement. Guidelines for combining objective and subjective sources of information are outlined, and examples of applications of the model in two case studies are presented.
