Learning Disabilities

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, since students with disabilities need to develop adult skills that will enable them to live, work, and interact in integrated community settings, the educational system guarantees they are provided with an appropriate educational experience. The author points out that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is very specific in its wording that children with disabilities should be educated along with children without disabilities; however, inclusion does not mean that students with disabilities must have the same curriculum or the same educational goals. The paper relates that Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), with or without hyperactivity, is becoming an increasingly prevalent problem and that these children are at higher risk for learning, behavioral, and emotional problems.
