What Does LD Look Like? Before you continue to the LD Mastery Check-Up, you may wish to quickly review the types of characteristics associated with learning disabilities. Remember, there is no single cause of learning disabilities, so there is also no single set of characteristics. Just like no one person will demonstrate all of the characteristics associated with learning disabilities, it is also true that individuals without learning disabilities may on occasion demonstrate some of the same characteristics. Remember, your students are more similar than different. Learning disabilities are often categorized by what is known as a deficit area. The major deficit areas are: reading, writing, listening, speaking, mathematics, thinking, reasoning, and other difficulties. Click on the following
file folder to view the different characteristics of adults with
learning disabilities. You may wish to print this chart for use
throughout this training or as a reference guide.
