A job coach intensity plan treats a client with a specific learning disability the same as a client with an intellectual disability who needs ongoing instructional support for novel multi-step tasks. What is the counselor's best correction?

Intellectual disability and specific learning disability have different typical functional profiles and support needs. Learning disabilities usually involve relatively specific academic or processing gaps addressable with targeted strategies, while intellectual disability more often involves broader adaptive and instructional needs that can require greater coaching intensity for novel tasks. Accurate matching prevents both under-serving and over-generalizing supports.
