Helping children understand nothing is impossible

Learning disabilities are problems that affect the brain's ability to receive, process, analyze, or store information. These problems can make it difficult for a student to learn as quickly as someone who isn't affected by learning disabilities.

It is difficult to learn to read when

the words don’t stand still. Can you

imagine what it is like to read when the

words and letters move up and down

on the page? Reading is not my favorite

school activity. It helps to use my finger

or a ruler to keep my place so I can

read.

How does reading this make you feel?

This is what it would be like for a student to read that has a learning disability

Experts estimate that 6 to 10 percent of school-aged people in this country have learning disabilities. For people with learning disabilities, reading can be especially difficult, but that does not affect their intelligence. People with learning disabilities have average or above-average intelligence.

Which of the following people has/had a learning disabilty?

Albert Einstein

He was slow in school work and did

not have a successful school experience

but later became a well-known movie

producer and cartoonist.

As a child, he could not talk until

the age of three. He did not learn to

read until he was nine. His teachers

considered him to be mentally slow,

unsociable, and a dreamer. He failed

the entrance examination for college.

Ultimately, he developed the Theory of

Relativity.

She has earned a Tony, an Emmy, an Oscar, and a Grammy. She is an author and a UN Goodwill ambassador. She grew up with deslyexia while teachers brushed off her disabilty as just being slow or even retarded.
