Definition

Using intelligence tests as the sole criteria for diagnosing Learning Disabilities means relying solely on these tests to determine if a person has a learning disability, without considering other factors or assessments. This approach is considered unethical because it oversimplifies the complex nature of learning disabilities and may lead to misdiagnosis or overlooking other important factors.
