they are given early intervention.
If reading intervention is delayed to 9 yrs of age …
75% of those children will continue to struggle with reading throughout their school career.

It will take four times as long to improve the same skills by the same amount.
Why does intervention take longer when children are older?
It is true that the brain utilize plasticity throughout life, however neural connection, which are deeply engrained, take longer to repattern. It can be done, but it takes significantly more time and effort to accomplish.
What is the most common developmental disability?
Intellectual disability
How are intellectual disabilities diagnosed?
- Assessment of the ability of the person’s brain to learn, think, solve problems, and make sense of the world. This is called IQ or Intellectual Functioning
- Assess whether the person has the skills needed to live independently, also called adaptive behavior.
What is the average score on an IQ test and what indicates an intellectual disability?
average = 100
ID = 70-75
Can students with intellectual disability learn to read.
Yes, the can learn to read and should be expected to do so. Studies have found that with persistent and specialized instruction, students with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities can read a first grade reading level or higher. A first grade reading level is sufficient to be a productive member of society.

What are the theories of reading difficulty?
- Phonological theory
- Rapid auditory processing theory
- Visual theory
- Magnocellular theory
What is phonological theory?
Phonological theory believes that reading difficulty stems from phonological deficits. The premise of this theory centers on the relationship between to recognize, distinguish and manipulate sounds that make up both our written and oral language.
Emphasis of this theory increased after the National Reading Panels report crediting phonological deficits as the primary cause of reading difficulty in the US.
