   To Tell or Not to Tell

A learning disability is just that - a disability. Disclosing that one has a disability can be difficult. Individuals who have learning disabilities or suspect that they have some type of a learning difference must decide whether or not to tell others. Self-disclosure means exactly that - students have the right either to tell or not to tell that they have a disability.

Think for a minute about what it is like to have a learning disability that interferes with your daily life, your education, and even your chosen career. Would you tell people that you have a learning disability?

To Tell or Not to Tell by Glenn Young from the LDA Newsbriefs, July - August 1996.

Very Important Information

Confidentiality is of prime importance when working with a learning disabled student. You and the program in which a student enrolls are responsible for ensuring the confidential treatment of all disability-related information. It should be collected and stored in locked files with limited access and only shared when there is a need to know and the person with the disability has signed a statement of release for that specific request for information.
