Extractions: Learning Disability Basics: Common Signs LD I.Q. Test The vast majority of children today (88%) are enrolled in school by age five. Approximately 15% of these children will experience more than the normal, periodic difficulties in school that all children face. They will, in fact, experience learning disabilities. Information is now available regarding early learning problems and the recognition of resk factors for learning disabilities and other delays in development as well as effective remedial strategies. Early intervention can help prevent the extent to which children encounter difficulties later in school and can offset some of the long-term consequences associated with learning disabilities, such as school drop-out, juvenile delinquency, unemployment, illiteracy, substance abuse, and welfare dependency. Early intervention can help individuals with learning disabilities to live to their full, undiminished potential, enjoying more productive and fulfilling participation in our society. Neurological in origin, learning disabilities impede a person's ability to store, process, or produce information. Learning disabilities can affect one's ability to read, write, speak, or compute math, and can impair social skills. Learning disabilities affect specific skills and abilities. A child who has difficulty with language, for example, may not have difficulties with any other area of development. Children with learning disabilities are of average or above average intelligence.

Guide To Learning Disabilities For The ESL Classroom Practitioner
A Guide to learning disabilities for the ESL Classroom Practitioner. Thispaper is meant to be a basic primer on learning disabilities.
http://www-writing.berkeley.edu/TESL-EJ/ej01/a.4.html

Extractions: Harvard University It is estimated that in the United States 15% of the general population has a learning disability (Monarez 1992, p. F3). It is possible that many of the ESL students whom we view as poor language learners are struggling because they too have a learning disability. In many countries, learning disabilities are not recognized or, in some cases, they are recognized but not dealt with. This paper is meant to be a basic primer on learning disabilities. It will describe classroom behaviors associated with several common learning problems, the results of research into them and it will offer practical suggestions to classroom teachers for working more profitably with these students. According to Dr. Melvin Levine, Director of the Clinical Center for the Study of Development and Learning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Learning Disability is the term currently used to describe a handicap that interferes with someones ability to store, process or produce information. Such disabilities affect both children and adults. The impairment can be quite subtle and go [-1-] undetected throughout life. But learning disabilities create a gap between a persons true capacity and his day to day production and performance. Its not always immediately obvious that a person has a learning disability. The most straightforward indication is academic failure or underachievement by someone who seems capable of more (Levine 1984, p.1).
