IDEA ’04 and Joint Committee Definitions ◦ IDEA - a disorder of one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations. ◦ Includes perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia ©2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

IDEA ’04 and Joint Committee Definitions ◦ Does not include learning problems which are primarily the results of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, of mental retardation, of emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage ◦ The IDEA definition describes primarily what are not learning disabilities. ◦ The IDEA definition is also ambiguous in its description of how to measure the disability. ©2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.
