Learning disabilities are a common condition characterized by difficulties in learning, which do not pertain to any form of physical disability. The presentation discusses the problem in United States, and the solutions and models developed to counter it. We visited Aaron School for our study. Here's a link to their website http://www.aaronschool.org/

1. Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are a common condition
characterized by difficulties in learning, which do
not pertain to any form of physical disability. The
academic, learning, speech and language skills are
affected in children diagnosed with learning
disabilities.
Learning disabilities private and public schools
provide comprehensive education and instruction to
children with LDs (Learning Disabilities).

2. Prevalence Of Learning
Disabilities (US Only)
One among every seven Americans suffer from
some form of Learning Disability. The IDEA
(Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) has
revealed that 5 percent of the total public school-
attending kids in America have been diagnosed with
an LD in 2011. In numbers, this value equals
2.4million.
Values from learning disabilities private schools are
not included in this number. Therefore, the
combined value will be much greater than the
2.4million count.

3. Working Models For Special
Education Of Children With
Learning Disabilities
Due to impaired learning abilities, children
diagnosed with an LD may find it difficult to
adjust in a regular classroom. The education and
instruction provided in a learning disabilities
private school or a public school for that matter
will be much more effective. The curriculum and
mode of instruction delivery in the classrooms
have been designed around the unique needs of
children with LDs.

4. The Pull Out Model
The pull out model segregates children with
LDs from children without a learning
disability. A homogenous group of students in
a self-contained environment is a characteristic
feature of the pull out model. This model has
been adopted by many public and private
schools for learning disabilities as it is much
easier for them to look after a similar group of
students.

5. The Push In Model
The push in model employs the concept of
inclusion, where a heterogeneous group,
which includes children with and without LDs
receive education. This model requires the
presence of more than one teacher (usually
two) in a classroom. The teachers have clearly
defined roles in the classrooms which
function on this model.

6. Co-teaching
Co-teaching is an effective service delivery
model for LDs which blends general and
special education. It can be effective only
when the severity of the learning disability is
not too high.
Definition: Co-teaching is the practice of two
or more teachers providing education in the
same physical space.

7. The Common Challenges
 Millions of children with LDs who go
unidentified suffer a lot due to lack of attention
and care.
 Lack of awareness among people about
learning disabilities still prevails.
