Learning disabilities are classified as disorders in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner. Some students, for unknown reasons, have difficulty receiving and processing information. This can make it problematic for students to learn in a traditional classroom environment. Learning disabilities are not indicative of intelligence level. In our experience, we have found that students often do not get the specific learning tools needed to help them succeed with their unique learning styles. Learning disabilities cannot be "cured" or "fixed"; however, with the right support and intervention, people with learning disabilities can succeed in school and be successful in life.

We have worked for over 40 years with children diagnosed with a long list of "Learning Disabilities". Learning disabilities are so specialized (and misdiagnosis is so common), we recommend the first session at Education Therapy be used for diagnostic testing by one of our learning specialists.
