Question

Joe, a teenager, is unable to perform well in exams that test his comprehension and language skills. he has a history of poor performances in language since childhood. in the context of intellectual disability, identify the skill that is joe's weakness.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Dyslexia. Joe has a real hard time reading and comprehending what he reads because his brain cannot correctly process the words and thus cannot make sense of the texts he reads.

Explanation:

Intellectual, and learning disabilities, are characteristics that affect the learning abilities of a person. Some of these can originate from genetical and biological sources, and others, develop through time and may not have a genetical or hereditary explanation. Dyslexia is one such disability and it is not genetical or hereditary. In essence, dyslexia prevents a child, or any person who suffers from it, from comprehending ideas and concepts given through written words, simply because he/she cannot understand said words. Some because of the incapacity to process the sounds of words, others, because they cannot process the words themselves and assign meaning to them. This is what is affecting Joe.

Answer 2

I believe joe's weakness is the oral-language skills / phonological skills
oral-language skills refers to the ability to break down specch into smaller units of sentence, sylable, rhymes, and etc.
This skill is really important in jobs that require us to communicate directly with other people such as managers, politician, lawyers,negotiators, etc.
