Very helpful, thank you. I just wandered how you would know if your child has a lower IQ that would put them in the category of learning disability or is it only through NDAS. Xx
Its not common practise to test Childrens IQ in Highland however if a child is slightly behind peers in terms of academic achievement and life skills we would potentially put that down to a learning difficulty possibly associated with a Neurodevelopmental condition such as ADHD making it difficult for them to concentrate , if they were moderately behind peers health professionals may refer to that child have a “ Global Development delay” and if the were significantly behind and in need of specialist education and support we would then consider them to have a Learning Disability. However these are very broad categories and each child is unique with their own strengths and pressures
