This is not indicative of intelligence level. Rather, people with a learning disability have trouble performing specific types of skills or completing tasks if left to figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways. Dyslexia is a well known example of such disorders. A learning disability cannot be cured or fixed. Individuals with learning disabilities can face unique challenges that are often pervasive throughout the lifespan. Social support can be a crucial component for students with learning disabilities in the school system. With the right support and intervention, people with learning disabilities can succeed in school and be successful later in life.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>dalurker</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 2:34 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>vermontsavant wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">ok,i never said everyone has an equal chance for succes today or even anytime soon.however research into how people with mental retardation learn is greatly helping and vastly improving.your taking my words out of context.yes colleges are offering special programs an people with downs syndrome are graduating from college and that is a fact.i never said there was a panacea for all intectual,developmental and learing defecits.i would suggest people read what i write before calling me a liar</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I know what you wrote.
