I do have some experience working with LD children because my brother has severe dyslexia. I know the frustration in trying to teach him when he has a very difficult time reading simple words on a page. Kids with dyslexia are not stupid, they just have a very difficult time reading. Try anything and everything you can to reach them. I guess this also goes for the behaviorally and emotionally disabled.
Patience is always a good virtue.
These kids will probably try their hardest if we show them htat we respect and care about them as people. It's not always obvious which students have the problems. Bringing up the subject made me realize that I need to find out at least who the labelled students are. There is one boy that is excused from using the scantron sheet because he has difficulty in transferring the information. I wonder if there are others who have just not been identified and lose points on tests because of the same problem.
