I am aware of that. A learning disability is defined as a discrepancy between actual school achievement and expected school achievement (as determined by IQ or other measures).

Therefore, someone with a low IQ and school problems is far less likely to have a learning disability than someone with a high IQ and school problems.

However, if a person has a low IQ and they have school problems, they qualify for special ed.

All I know is that special ed is tied to academic problems, and other health impaired is tied to non-academic problems.

So if a person qualifies for special ed, then they would probably not be in honors classes. However, I'm not sure how it would work if someone has a learning disabilty in reading and qualifies for special ed, but is great in math. I would imagine they would be able to take an honors math class, but I don't know.
