Clinical Psychology
In brief:
Pro evaluation
Gosh, a good evlauation probably by a child neurologist and at least a chidl psychologist or neuropsychologist would be needed.
Deficits in one or more areas could reflect limited globa intelligence or be part of a far, far more complex neurodvelopmental or neurological condition. Usually an iq test as well as a formal adaptive behavior measure is needed for classification purposes.
