Learning Disabilities: Signs, Symptoms and Strategies

Rating: 19
Site Summary:“Every individual with a learning disability is unique and shows a different combination and degree of difficulties. A common characteristic among people with learning disabilities is uneven areas of ability, “a weakness within a sea of strengths.” For instance, a child with dyslexia who struggles with reading, writing and spelling may be very capable in math and science.”
We chose this site because it gives good descriptions of learning disabilities and useful information on how to identify them.
