Yes. “Specific learning disability” is a legal term of art defined by IDEA. To be eligible under IDEA as having a specific learning disability, a student must have a severe discrepancy (as defined by state law) between intellectual ability and achievement. Section 504 interprets the term as it is used in IDEA.
