I'm not sure of what you mean by slope.

But both my kids have language disorder to some level. My oldest (DD21) was labeled with language disorder LD when she was in 2nd grade and isn't considered gifted. (Her younger brother is GT and has an expressive language processing issues.) I had DD working with a private educational therapist from 2nd-12th grade, she had an IEP 2nd-11th grade. And while the disorder was clearly still there when she was last tested her junior year of H.S she had learned how to compensate, study and be successful at school. She just graduated from college last week. The disorder will always be a part of her and she will never be able to crank out an essay like other students. But she has other strengths and has learned how to use those to be successful.
