I am curious why some respondents consider ESL students to have a learning disability. The first sentence in the section "Defining Learning Disabilities" states"Learning disability is defined "as a disorder in one or more of the basic PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESSES involved in understanding or using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write and spell, or to do mathematical calculations." If an English speaking person was living in a foreign country, learning the language and going to a career college would you label them learning disabled?
