Answer 2

A learning disability in reading can have many labels:

-dyseidetic sometimes called "surface dyslexia" or "visual dyslexia"(generally has a good grasp of phonetic concepts, but great difficulty with whole word recognition and spelling).  

-dysphonetic (has difficulty connecting sounds to symbols, and might have a hard time sounding out words). Another label is sometimes called "auditory" dyslexia, or "auditory processing disorder" because it relates to the way the person processes the sounds of language.  

-word blindness, visual aphasia, alexia, perceptual distortions,Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome (sometimes called Irlen Syndrome)

All of these symptoms are usually the result of a learning style.  The visual learner is the learner who gets one of these labels (including dysgraphia and dyscalculia).

There is a program that addresses these learning challenges in a positive and fun way, using the visual gift of the learner.

Answer 3

Specific Learning Disability is a bit of a misnomer. I always thought it meant you had a specific diagnosis that interfered with your learning, but that's not what it means at all. Specific Learning Disability is one of a dozen or so eligibility categories for Special Education. In other words, it's a way to qualify for SpEd. It's a list of criteria.

Actually, what SLD means is that a person's achievement in specific academic areas does not match their potential as measured by their cognitive scores (IQ).

We used to look for a gap of a certain number of points between potential and ability, but the new law (IDEA 2004, federal regs) says we can't require this kind of a point spread. These days, we're basically looking for a pattern of strengths and weaknesses, and a gap that might be closed by specially designed instruction: Special Ed.

The idea is that your cognitive ability (IQ) is unlikely to change much for people past 4th grade or so, unless they receive a traumatic brain injury (that's another eligibility category).

But if a person has a problem with a specific academic area (like arithmetic, or reading comprehension), special education can bring their achievement in that area closer to their potential. If a student's achievement scores are close to their cognitive ability, then they are doing about the best they can do, and special education won't help.
