Although IQ testing may be used as one tool for identifying learning disabilities, it is not the only method and there are other assessments that can be used. Therefore, it is not true that predicting learning disabilities at preschool age is difficult solely because children are too young to complete an IQ test. However, the other reasons listed - mildness of symptoms, difficulty distinguishing between delay and slowness, and children appearing competent until faced with specific tasks - are all commonly cited reasons for the challenge in identifying learning disabilities in young children.
