[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Informative post 16:50. Thanks for providing it. My DS was identified with a Specific Learning Disability and has an IEP (he also has OHI - ADHD). I don't know why it's called a "specific" LD since it's really not specific.[/quote] They call is "Specific" to distinguish it from global learning disabilities, in which all areas of cognition are effected. We don't generally uses that term in the U.S., but it would be another way of describing intellectual disabilities, previously known as mental retardation. A child with specific learning disablities (often shortened to learning disabilities) has problems with specific discrete skills, such as working memory, sequencing, phonemic processing, but has other areas that are uneffected.[/quote]
