(b) Onset must occur before age of 18
(c) Has many different etiologies and may be seen as a final common pathway of various pathological process that affect the functioning of the central nervous system.

(a) falls substantially below that expected given the individual's chronolgical age, measured intelligence and age-appropriate education.
(b) disturbance in reading significantly interferes with academic achievement or with activities of daily living that require reading skills.
(c) If a sensory deficit is present the reading difficulties are in excess of those usually associated with it .

If a neurological or other general medical condition or sensory deficit is present, it should be coded on Axis III.

315.00 Reading Disorder

60% to 80% of individuals diagnosed with Reading Disorder are males.

If a general medical (e.g, neurological) condition or sensory deficit is present, code the condition on Axis II.

Front 8

(a) Mathematical ability, as measured by individually administered standardized test is substantially below that expected given the person's chronological age, measured intelligence, and age appropriate education.
(b) The disturbance in Criterion A significantly interferes with academic achievement or activities of daily living that require mathematical ability.
(c) If sensory deficit is present, the difficulties in mathematical ability are in excess of those usually associated with it.

315.1 Mathematics Disorder

If a general medical (e.g, neurological) condition or sensory deficit is present, code the condition on Axis II.

Front 9

(a) Writing skills. as measured by individually administered standardized tests (or functional assessments of writing skills). are substantially below those expected given the person's chronological age, measured intelligence, and age-appropriate education.
(b) The disturbance in Criterion A significantly interferes with academic achievement or activities of daily living that require the composition of written texts (e.g., writing grammatically correct sentences and organized paragraphs).
(c) If a sensory deficit is present, the difficulties in writing skills are in excess of those usually associated with it.

315.2 Disorder of Written Expression

If a general medical (e.g, neurological) condition or sensory deficit is present, code the condition on Axis II.

Front 10

This category is for disorders in learning that do not meet criteria for any specific Learning Disorder. This category might include problems in all three areas (reading.. mathematics, written expression) that together significantly interfere with academic achievement even though performance on tests measuring each individual skill is not substantially below that expected given the person's chronological age, measured intelligence, and age-appropriate education.

315.9 Learning Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (NOS)

Front 11

(a) Performance in daily activities that require motor coordination is substantially below that expected given the person's chronological age and measured intelligence. This may be manifested by marked delays in achieving motor milestones (e.g., walking, crawling, sitting) dropping things, "clumsiness", poor performance in sports, or poor handwriting.
(b) The disturbance in Criterion A significantly interferes with academic achievement or activities of daily living.
(c) The disturbance is not due to a general medical condition (e.g., cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, or muscular dystrophy) and does not meet criteria for a Pervasive Developmental Disorder.
(d) If Mental Retardation is present, the motor difficulties are in excess of those usually associated with it.

Prevalence of Developmental Coordination Disorder has been estimated to be as high as 6% for children in the age range of 5-11 years.
