What is a learning disability?
DEFINITION:
Many kids feel bad because their minds have a hard time with certain types work in school. Weaknesses in your mind can make it hard to do different kinds of school work. These weaknesses are called learning disabilities. It is kind of like a mixed up puzzle. Some times it is hard to fit all of the pieces together.
Learning problems can make students feel sad and discouraged. But because you are now in special education you will get the help you need to be successful again. Remember no one has a perfect mind!
Now you have the help to fit all of the pieces together!
