Join #psychedpodcast as we welcome Dr. Farmer back for a third episode! What is best practice when the referral concern is intellectual disability? Do you use a hard cut-off of 70? Do all indices need to be low? Should we be considering part scores at all? How about adaptive behavior? Do all of the adaptive domains need to be below 70? Just one? Join us to hear about Dr. Farmer’s research and thoughts on the identification of intellectual disability.
