This was originally popularized by Barbara Bateman in 1964. It is a key component and is considered to be the common denominator of learning disabilities. It is used by many states today to determine if a learning disability is present in a child.
What is the discrepancy model?

It is a learning disorder in which symbols and especially letters, words, and phrases are transposed or reversed when reading. It used to be called word blindness and it occurs in 5% of dyslexics.
What is strephosymbolia?
300
One of the most popular frameworks that is used to teach mathematics. For this method, math instruction should start with activities, moving to representational activities, and finish with more abstract activities.

In 1975, this law was passed giving learning disabilities official status as a category eligible for funding for direct services. It also states that the term “specific learning disability” means a disorder in one or more of the psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations. The term includes such conditions as perceptual handicaps, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia and developmental aphasia. The term does not include children who have learning disabilities which are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor handicaps, or mental retardation, or emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage.

Learning strategies are taught during strategy instruction and it teaches students how to organize the information so it can be retrieved.
What are the differences between direct instruction, strategy instruction, and learning strategies in teaching mathematics?

1. Teachers are not properly trained to implement this approach. 2. There is a few criteria for distinguishing between "no response to instruction" and "marginal response to instruction," making it difficult to accomplish consistent implementation. 3. It is difficult to establish when a child should move to another tier. 4. This approach fails to document underachievement/unexpected learning failure, which is an important feature of learning disabilities.
