F70

Struggling at school, managing well at home

Meera, 10, performs below grade level in reading and mathematics, and her teacher describes her as needing extra time and simplified instructions for academic tasks. A recent assessment places her general intellectual functioning in the borderline range. At home, however, her parents describe her as managing dressing, chores, money for small purchases, and friendships at an age-appropriate level, with no concerns outside of academics. A trainee, noting she is "behind," wants to classify this as F70.
