We have known and still know quite a few of these different kids. I don't know one who is not amazingly bright in one or more areas of life that most of us are stymied by. They are exceptional artists, musically genius, enormously big-hearted or mature beyond their years. Another is an accomplished pianist and song writer at 12 years of age. All of these children have some pretty wicked learning disabilities and they are all just the best kids one could hope to know and love.
Some public schools have excellent resource programs for the learning disabled child.
Most private schools do not have the room or the inclination to support a resource curriculum. There are private schools that cater only to learning disabled children. These schools can be frightfully expensive but many are the only hope some children will ever have for academic success. Got me welled up, too. This school has a variety of classroom environments, each supporting a different learning style .
