This document discusses several issues related to assessing intellectual disability in Atkins cases where the death penalty is being considered. It notes that courts often do not properly understand factors like the Flynn effect, practice effects, measurement error, and the reluctance of schools to diagnose students as mentally retarded. As a result, individuals with intellectual disabilities are sometimes found not to meet the criteria, putting their lives at risk.
