Learning
Disabilities
As many as 1 out of every
5 people in the U.S. has a Learning Disability. Over
one half of all children receiving special education
have a Learning Disability.
(Twenty–fourth
Annual Report to Congress, U.S. Department of Education,
2002)
Children with
Dyslexia
"Children with Dyslexia usually have
severe problems in understanding the relationship
between letters and their sound representations, which
impacts their ability to decode words. The condition
is not caused by low IQ, and happens despite adequate
classroom instruction."
Dr. Guinevere
Eden,
Director of the Center for the Study of Learning,
and
Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Georgetown
Medical Center
