IEP Development for a Student With Learning Disabilities
A learning disability refers to a student who is not able to learn at the same pace as their peers. Students with learning disabilities do not have cognitive or physical impairments, but rather struggle with traditional classroom instruction. They are provided with special tools to learn, including resource teachers and accommodations on exams and assignments.
Common learning disabilities include:
Dyslexia, a reading disability based in language
Dyscalculia, a mathematical disability based on number sense
Auditory or visual processing disorders, sensory disabilities that make hearing or seeing difficult even though there are no physical issues with either.
