Claim: Speech and language disability and specific learning disability have been added for the first time. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2019-09-01): Our nation’s special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines specific learning disability as… (10) Specific learning disability —(i) General. Specific learning disability means a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in the imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. [...] Specific learning disorder is a classification of disorders in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner within one of several domains. Often referred to as learning disabilities, learning disorders are characterized by inadequate development of specific academic, language, and speech skills. Types of learning disorders include difficulties in reading (dyslexia), mathematics (dyscalculia), and writing (dysgraphia) The diagnosis of specific learning disorder was added to the DSM-5 in 2013. The DSM does not require that a single domain of difficulty (such as reading, mathematics, or written expression) be identified—instead, it is a single diagnosis that describes a collection of potential difficulties with general academic skills, simply including detailed specifiers for the areas of reading, mathematics, and writing. Academic performance must be below average in at least one of these fields, and the symptoms may also interfere with daily life or work. In addition, the learning difficulties cannot be attributed to other sensory, motor, developmental, or neurological disorders.

Evidence (2024-03-31): For the first time since 1980 (i.e., DSM-3), the DSM-5 integrated Specific Learning Disorders under one label instead of retaining the separate disorders: reading disorder, writing disorder, and mathematics disorder. There is considerable variability both within and between these classifications, a lack of isolated neural deficits [49], high rates of comorbidity [26]. Given these and the dimensional framework of the DSM-5, the decision was to have one single category for Specific Learning Disorder, but to use specifiers to capture the developmental course and severity of various manifestations at the time of assessment [56]. Specifiers are not mutually exclusive, which means manifestations across academic domains can be captured within a single diagnosis. One of the most common manifestations of Specific Learning Disorder is dyslexia, a difficulty mapping letters with the sounds of one’s language in order to read printed words typically resulting from a deficit in the phonological component of language [20]. In the DSM-5, dyslexia is suggested as an alternative term for problems with accurate or fluent word recognition, poor decoding, and poor spelling abilities.

Evidence (2024-04-03): What’s the Difference Between Speech Disorders and Language-Based Learning Disabilities? [...] Language-based learning disabilities (LBLD) are very different from speech impairments. LBLD refers to a whole spectrum of difficulties associated with young children’s understanding and use of spoken and written language. LBLD can affect a wide variety of communication and academic skills. These include listening, speaking, reading, writing and doing math calculations. Some children with LBLD can’t learn the alphabet in the correct order or can’t "sound out" a spelling word. They may be able to read through a story but can’t tell you what it was about. Children with LBLD find it hard to express ideas well even though most kids with this diagnosis have average to superior intelligence.

Evidence (2016-01-01): Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Under IDEA, "Specific Learning Disability (SLD) means a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in the imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia. Specific learning disability does not include learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, of mental retardation, of emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage" (34 C.F.R. Section 300.8(c)(10)). Dyslexia is a subcategory of Specific Learning Disability (SLD) and has been added so that the Department can distinguish students with dyslexia from other students with SLD who are reported in this disability category.

Evidence (2015-06-11): Oral language, simply stated, refers to our ability to listen to and understand speech as well as to express our thoughts through speech. Oral language is made up of low-level skills, such as recognizing and making the sounds within our speech, and higher-level skills, such as getting meaning by listening to someone speak or creating sentences to express thoughts. Students with dyslexia typically have adequate higher- level language skills. Indicators of higher-level oral language skills include being able to understand an age-appropriate story and spoken directions, to carry on a conversation, and to understand and use words that are age appropriate. If a student has average higher-level oral language skills but much difficulty developing written language (reading and spelling) skills, the need for evaluation for dyslexia is recommended.

Evidence (2023-09-28): Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a communication disorder that interferes with learning, understanding, and using language. These language difficulties are not explained by other conditions, such as hearing loss or autism, or by extenuating circumstances, such as lack of exposure to language. DLD can affect a child’s speaking, listening, reading, and writing. DLD has also been called specific language impairment, language delay, or developmental dysphasia. It is one of the most common developmental disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 14 children in kindergarten. The impact of DLD persists into adulthood. [...] These tools allow the speech-language pathologist to compare the child's language skills to those of same-age peers, identify specific difficulties, and plan for potential treatment targets. [...] Treatment services for DLD are typically provided or overseen by a licensed speech-language pathologist. Treatment may be provided in homes, schools, university programs for speech-language pathology, private clinics, or outpatient hospital settings.

Evidence (2020-10-25): Background: Dyslexia is a learning disability characterized by challenges identifying speech sounds and learning how to connect them to letters and words, according to the Mayo Clinic. Its chief symptoms include difficulties with spelling, reading, pronunciation of words and processing auditory information. It is a common learning disability among children, although adolescents and adults with dyslexia often exhibit symptoms as well. [...] Background: According to the University of Kansas Research & Training Center on Independent Living, learning disability "describes a neurologically based condition that may manifest itself as difficulty learning and using skills in reading (called dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), mathematics (dyscalculia) and other cognitive processes due to differences in how the brain processes information. Individuals with learning disabilities have average or above average intelligence, and the term does not include a learning problem that is primarily the result of another cause, such as intellectual disabilities or lack of educational opportunity."

Evidence (2024-01-01): In my school we’ve started adding a collaboration and consultation time into the IEP. Because that is such an important piece and often general education is trained to move a group and so sometimes that concentrating on a piece that is very specific to one child isn’t exactly their focus, whereas for special ed it’s our focus. And so having that consultation time to talk about that one child gives us the ability to help them understand how it’s going to play out in general education, making sure they understand there is still the expectation for growth in that classroom. That child is still their child. And helping them make sure that the instruction is applying to how that child learns specifically and where their strengths are, which in the special ed setting we’re better able to find out because of the smaller groups and being able to really tailor to what that child really needs. And having that time to meet with them and say, "OK, well what are you teaching?" We can even give them ideas. "Well here is a visual that really correlates with that.
