- Children diagnosed with a specific learning disability in one or more academic areas
- Children with gifts and talents, with or without academic difficulties
- Children with academic difficulties that are secondary to other developmental or genetic disorders (e.g., ADHD, AspergerŐs Disorder, Fragile X, TurnerŐs Syndrome)
- Children adopted from overseas
- Children with speech or language difficulties (e.g., childhood apraxia of speech, specific language impairment, phonological disorder)
- High school and college students with a history of learning difficulties who are struggling academically
