Maybe I'm confused as to what you are looking for.

In general, multievel models are quite good for longitudinal data. One good (if somewhat dated) book is by Hedeker and Gibbons. Longitudinal Data Analysis.

Verbeke and Mollenberghs wrote two good books on this topic.

I know that, a while back, "learning disability" meant different things in UK and US English; with the def. in UK being more like what the US calls "intellectual disability" or similar.

Is that still true?

The interaction of time and an IV will show whether the time effect is different at different levels of the IV. That is frequently what you want with this sort of data, but it is not what your first sentence here asks for.

Are you talking to me? 'Cause I'm pretty strange!

Sounds like Dick Durbin had a great meeting today with Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel, too.

“Kash Patel has neither the experience, the temperament, nor the judgment to lead the FBI."

I was in 2 WTC when the plane hit.

This is worse.

Then the enemy was a group of hostile, foreign terrorists. Now, the enemy is domestic, and was elected by a plurality of voters.

If people could just "decide* this, then a lot of psychologists would be out of work

It's going to be very hard to come up a way to measure usefulness

"God created the integers, all the rest is the work of man" Leopold Kronecker is one extreme on a continuum. But I am on the other end. We discover it. But which bits we discover depend on many factors, and this dependence can make it seem like we invent it.

That's true. And, at his citizenship hearings, one of his friends told him to shut up about that. Which friend? Albert Einstein.

Einstein also once said that he only went to work for "the pleasure of walking home with Godel."

Did you try Google Scholar? I'm amazed by how many people don't know about this site.

Splines are very useful, but medical decisions are rarely based on a single criterion (and it ought to be even rarer). At a minimum, the patient's age is going to be a consideration in many many cases. And their sex (this gets ignored a lot).
