Learning Disability

A student with a learning disability (LD) will most likely contain the following:

1. The learning disabled have difficulties with academic achievement and progress. Discrepancies exist between a person's potential for learning and what he actually learns.

2. The learning disabled show an uneven pattern of development (language development, physical development, academic development and/or perceptual development).

3. Learning problems are not due to environmental disadvantage.

4. Learning problems are not due to mental retardation or emotional disturbance.
