The slow learning child is one of low intelligence, who is incapable of keeping up with his classmates in the regular public schools, and who therefore requires a modified curriculum for his maximum growth and development. Any child who has an IQ below 80 and who is not progressing in school at the same rate as other children may be considered mentally retarded.
