...Learning disability (sometimes called a learning disorder or learning difficulty), is a disorder in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner, usually caused by an unknown factor or factors. The unknown factor is the disorder that affects the brain's ability to receive and process information. This disorder can make it problematic for a person to learn as quickly or in the same way as someone who isn't affected by a learning disability. Learning disability is not indicative of intelligence level. Rather, people with a learning disability have trouble performing specific types of skills or completing tasks if left to figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways.

My son just started using a program called TouchMath, and he enjoys it and is really starting to understand the math concepts that were difficult for him. I don't know a lot about it, as I am just learning about this program myself...but here is their web site http://www.touchmath.com/ |

What are the College This coming school year my
sister will be a Senior in
High School. She has a
learning disability. I don't
believe it is anything to
serious it just takes her a
little longer comprehending
things. Anyway I wanted to ask
about her SATs. Is there a
certain kind of test she
should be taking? Also how do
I find out if the Colleges of
her choice cater to students
with learning disabilities.
Any serious answers would be
helpful. Thank You.

As someone who does have a learning disability, the reason why this is such as controversial subject is because many people, including the press, believes that teaching the "Special Education Culture" is an "Expensive waste of taxpayers money." They believe that; instead of teaching the learning disabled and "Dumbing down the 'normal' children" in the process; this money should be put to "Better use". This include more money to develop a better sports program which helps bring in more money to the high school and to better educate the gifted students; "The students with a future". This is total bullsh*t because despite being a member of the "Special Education Culture" when I was in high school, I still managed to not only graduated college but I did so with highest honors. If it was not for my high school special ed teacher, I would have dropped out of school in the 11th grade, and most likely be stuck working at McDonald's or Taco Bell (Yuck). At least now, if I'm unable to find a job in my chosen field, I have the option to go back to college and try for my Master's Degree. Thus, proving that teaching the disabled is not a "Total waste of time and money". I hope I answered your question. |
