Learning Disabilities Schools
Teachers are usually aware of when a student has difficulty with class work. Many times a teacher may have one or more students who have been labeled with a learning disability. Education for the learning disabled is a field of special education that is growing in almost every school system. The term learning disabilities emerged from a need to serve students who continually failed schools.
Federal Register Definition of Learning Disability
Different organizations, state departments and schools have all given various definitions of what it means to have a learning disability. One definition that seems to give the most comprehensive explanation and that is easy to understand is from 1977. The Federal Register released its definition in 1977 under Public Law 94-142 which stated:
Specific learning disability means a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations. The term includes such conditions as perceptual handicaps, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia and developmental aphasia. The term does not include children who have learning problems which are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor handicaps, of mental retardation, or emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage. (USOE, 1977, 65083)
