[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sad that this is even being debated. While a person with a  learning disability can certainly have an average IQ, it is a different situation.

[b]Are people here seriously stating that a child with dyslexia shouldn't receive accommodations that could help them learn to read and spell? Or that a child with documented ADHD shouldn't be allowed to test in a room without distractions? Or that a child with autism shouldn't receive some help with social cues and executive functioning which can lead to anxiety, depression, and school failure?[/b]

Should a kid with a flat iq score of 90 be able to get accomodations that help them perform better as well? [/quote]

Kids with a low flat IQ score do not benefit from accommodations.  If a kid like this is working at their full potential, and they get say, extra time, their scores will not demonstrably go up.  Because they flat out do not know it.

That is the difference between a child with a higher IQ and a LD. . .and a child with a flat low IQ.  [/quote]
