All have uh have diverse abilities.
I very rarely see anybody who's consistently low in all of these areas or consistently high.

Like you might have a child who has really great um math aptitude and ability.
Um and um
just as charging along really well in math.
Um and uh it has a disability in reading.
Well it doesn't impact them in math at all.
It's only impacting them in reading.

Where were we?
Absolutely, and it's extremely frustrating for for parents, for teachers who who don't understand typically because they haven't been taught about these types of children, and for the child themselves.

Typically the the areas that are strongest in the two E kids are either verbal abilities or fluid reasoning or visual spatial abilities.
