Description
In this article, we report findings from a literature review directed at the question, What is the relevance of intelligence to learning among children at risk for school failure? To explain the importance and timeliness of this question for those with interest in learning disabilities (LD) and high-incidence disabilities generally, we use our introduction, first, to describe "responsiveness-to-intervention" (RTI) and, second, to explain reasons for its emergence as an alternate or supplement to conventional methods of LD identification. These reasons include longstanding, widespread dissatisfaction with IQ-achievement discrepancy and, among a smaller but influential group of policymakers and researchers, disapproval of the regular use of intelligence measures, apart from "discrepancy-making," to distinguish LD from mild mental retardation (MMR). Because this latter group of critics sees little connection between intelligence and responsiveness to instruction, it supports a "low-achievement" definition of LD, which, some claim, is a negation of the LD construct.
