Does the CPI identify a learning disability?
A learning disability exists when a student is experiencing a significant information processing issue which results in a severe level of underachievement. While the CPI is designed and intended to provide an evaluation of potential information processing concerns, it does not and cannot measure the significance of a student’s possible underachievement. Relatively significant processing concerns noted on the CPI may be indicative of a learning disability and provide direction for intervention, but the CPI is not intended to diagnose a learning disability.
