Gresham, Frank M.; Vellutino, Frank R. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2010
A fundamental assumption in the identification of specific learning disabilities (SLD) has been that the presence of a severe discrepancy between ability and academic achievement is a valid marker for the presence of a SLD. This assumption is based on the notion that discrepant low achievers constitute a unique group of children who are different…

Peer reviewedMacMillan, Donald L.; Gresham, Frank M.; Bocian, Kathleen M.; Lambros, Kathleen M. – Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, 1998
A sample of 150 children referred to child-study teams were administered intelligence tests. One-third of White students and slightly over half of Black and Hispanic students scored in the borderline IQ range (71-85). Of those borderline students who subsequently received special education, the majority were served as learning disabled. (Author/CR)

Peer reviewedGresham, Frank M.; MacMillan, Donald L.; Bocian, Kathleen M. – School Psychology Quarterly, 1998

Three groups of students were studied: (1) learning disabled (N=47); (2) mildly mentally retarded (N=43); (3) low achievers (N=60). Relatively low agreement was found between eligibility and research…
