what is cognitively impaired

I think your talking about the psycho-educational evaluation. It shows memory scores.

My son has low memory scores and low language scores. It means he will be on level 1 reading materials for a period of 1-2 years.

We also follow up with a Neurodevelopmental Pediatrician. She stated many learning disabilties have low memory scores. We ruled out epilepsy.

We are starting cod liver oil in addition to vitamin B compound.

Follow up with a Neurodevelopmental Pediatrician or a Pediatric Neurologist who can read and interpret the reports and make sure she is getting the right amount of services in school.

Mild cognitive impairment is a term otherwise used for mild mental retardation. It would suggest a child falls on the IQ scale two or more standard deviations from the mean of 100. Hence, a child with mild mental retadation or mild cognitive impairment would likely have an IQ that would fall somewhere between 55-70. Educationally, it would likely require direct special education services and with a focus on life skills interventions.
