Intellectually disabled but on death row: The troubling case of Freddie Hall
Hi,
Marc Tasse LA Times editorial on Hall v Florida SCOTUS case

Intellectually disabled but on death row: The troubling case of Freddie Hall
Shortly after his birth in 1945, Freddie Hall's family knew that something was different about him. And later, he was slow to learn, to walk and to talk, and it was challenging for his family to understand his speech. He was raised under difficult circumstances in an impoverished and abusive home, the 16th of 17 children, and showed early signs of serious intellectual and developmental delays.

Hall v Florida SCOTUS case: Amicus Briefs by APA and AAIDD
The Atkins case of Hall v Florida will be heard by SCOTUS shortly. Like most Atkins cases, the issues are complex. But the essence of the case is Florida's "bright line" test for the first ID Dx prong...which, based on the FLorida Cherry Court decision, is set at a firm IQ score of 70 with no recognition of the standard error of measurement (SEM).
Both APA and AAIDD have spearheaded two separate Amicus Briefs, which also include other organizations. The two briefs have now been posted in the brief sidebar of this blog. They can also be found at the links below.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) a new broad CHC ability?
Very interesting study suggesting that Ge (broad emotional intelligence) should be considered as a new entry into the CHC taxonomy of intelligence. I love the "big picture" model figure.....of course, it is an adaption of my 2009 model in the journal Intelligence.
