From the Paper:

"Although each student with a learning disability is a unique individual, some difficulties are so common that instructors can expect to see them in their classrooms. For instance, over 70% have difficulty concentrating in a noisy setting (Harrison, 2003). Often such students take tests and exams in an academic center where the environment can be controlled. Over 60% will have difficulty with one or more of these skills: reading comprehension or speed; spelling, including recognition of misspelled words; displaying mastered knowledge on essay exams; mastery and application of grammar rules; and/or word problems in math (Harrison, 2003). "
