The Answer is a) Reading Disorder, Mathematics Disorder, Disorders of Written Expression
b) Three general criteria:
1) Achievement on individually administered, standardized tests in reading, mathematics or written expression is substantially below the expected for age, schooling and level of intelligence.
2) Learning problems significantly interfere with academic achievement or activities of daily living that require reading, mathematics or writing skills.
3) If a sensory deficit is present, the LD must be in excess of those usually associated with the deficit.
c) Reading is specifically measured by individually administered standardized tests, accuracy, speed or comprehension; mathematics is (calculation or math reasoning) measured by individually administered standard tests of mathematical ability. Written expression is the most difficult to measure, since few standardized measures exist. DSM recommends individually administered standardized tests or functional assessments of writing skills.
