If you have difficulty in this area, it is very important for you to be open and honest about your communication struggles so that others can be aware and supportive. Attention is an area of difficulty for almost all LD students. You may have difficulty paying attention both in the classroom and when doing homework. Many LD students have ADD or ADHD and may take medication to help control behavior and pay attention. Such students can pay attention better when the teacher provides a general idea about what is being taught before breaking it down into details.
Attentional problems make it very difficult to learn in school.
It seems that low self-esteem, social confusion, communication problems, and attentional difficulties are very common for LD students. When you can really admit your learning difficulties to others you will find that you no longer need to be embarrassed or ashamed. You will also find that friends, parents, and teachers are more accepting and supportive when they really understand your struggles. Now, on with the case.
