“…This is because it can be difficult to clearly connect specific behaviors to distinct categories, because of symptom overlaps. It is possible to associate disruptive behavior and emotional issues with ID, ED, and LD (Landrum 2011; Polloway, Patton, and Nelson 2011; Pullen et al 2011) as well as with autism (Scattone et al 2002) and ADHD (Anhalt, McNeil, and Bahl 1998). Likewise, low achievement is a common characteristic across multiple disabilities (Donovan and Cross 2002).…”

Many African American and Hispanic children are classified as mildly disabled. Although this makes special education services available to these and other children who need them, contention endures as to whether disability classification also is racially (and ethnically) biased. The authors view disability classification as status competition, in which minorities are overrepresented in low-status categories such as intellectual disability and emotional disturbance, and whites are overrepresented in high-status categories such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism. The authors address the racialized construction and evolution of the mild disability classification system along with mechanisms that perpetuate racial segmentation in contemporary classification. They analyze a large federal longitudinal data set (1998–2007) to examine racialization and find that classification continues to operate at least in part as a racial sorting scheme. Implications for research and policy are discussed.

“…The distinguishing feature of these children is that there is a significant discrepancy between their level of intellectual ability and their level of academic performance (Pullen et al 2011). Children with dyslexia have specific learning difficulties in one or more of spelling, writing, reading, and/or mathematics but can function well in other aspects of the curriculum (Kelly and Phillips 2011;Reid 2009).…”
