Language and Learning Disabilities
In the course of the last four decades, the diagnosis of language and learning disabilities has become more common and more complex. Larger numbers of students entering post-secondary education do so with some type of mild to severe LD, leading to significant accommodation histories that may or may not have fostered academic success. No longer is LD considered a lack of intelligence; rather, LD is simply another neurodiverse disorder that impacts individuals in unique but predictable ways. Understanding that such disorders are not a one-size-fits-all disability fosters application of universal design and strategic teaching methods to successfully work with and support students and staff with LD.
