Identifying dyslexia-consistent reading profiles in mild intellectual disability: cluster-derived severity gradients and severity-calibrated classification rule... (opens in new tab)

IntroductionTranslating dyslexia constructs to mild intellectual disability (MID) is challenging because population-based cut-offs may label broadly expected low attainment as ‘specific’. This study combined person-centered profiling with explicit, ICD-11–guided, severity-calibrated classification rules to quantify when and why over-identification occurs in MID.MethodsNationwide diagnostic data from 446 students with MID were analyzed using age-normed sten scores from the SB6/18 battery (deco...
