| Many children feel difficult to deal with Math but it is not necessary that they are suffering from a Learning Disability. |

| My child stims when he’s excited. He poises his fingers in a certain way and flaps his hands. I honestly don’t mind his behavior because it helps give me an insight into how he’s feeling. |

Counselors are there to help instead of telling people that they are stupid.
In my opinion being bad at math does not necessarily mean that you have a Learning Disability although it is a good idea to get evaluated for dyscalculia (a math related learning disability) by a medical professional. |

Am I the only one here who loved math when I was your age? 
The best thing about math was that it was never boring. Take it easy peeps, you would love it. |

| Well, teenagers are very sensitive. At this stage, their mind is in an impressionable phase. Even though many of them won't take these kind of graphical media on a serious note but somewhere it might make an impact in the future. |

| Don’t lose heart. I’d suggest that you try to get therapy for reducing the problems you face. Processing problems are often linked with attention and short-term memory issues. If you can obtain help to strengthen your short-term memory and attention, you may be able to process what you are hearing a... |

| It is natural for symptoms of learning disabilities to go ignored in the early phases of life. You may have dismissed the issues you faced as idiosyncrasies or a lack of comfort with dealing with certain subjects and areas of life. Now that you have got a diagnosis, you can start working on remediat... |

| In my personal opinion, New York is one of the best states for Special Ed. With schools such as Aaron School and many others, New York has to be near the top if not on the top. |

| I have never been in Special Ed but my nephew goes to one of those special schools for kids with learning disabilities that goes by the name of Aaron School in New York. IMO the school has helped him a lot as he has dramatically improved his social skills. |
