Learning Disabilities: What Are They? Helping

"Specific learning disability" is by far the largest category of conditions served in special education. Unfortunately, few parents (and educators) truly understand what a learning disability is. Many erroneously believe it is a politically correct term for mildly mentally retarded or dull normal. Further, while most people have heard of dyslexia, rarely do they know about other types of learning disabilities, such as dysnomia or dyscalculia.
