Two standard deviations above average (100)=gifted. But a discrepancy that large does suggest a learning disability, which is not the same as a developmental disability. Learning disability diagnosis is based on discrepancies. Developmental disability diagnosis is based upon actual IQ scores.

Most psychologists consider more factors than just discrepancies especially if scores are within high average average range. She wouldn't qualify for a disability with these scores. More likely gifted. I do this for a living so I am not just talking
