It would be nice to be able to label all students with learning disabilities. Even if we do have a label for the student, it does not mean that the student has all of the characteristics of that disability. Each student has their own unique strengths and weaknesses. As instructors we need to ask them how they learn best. We cannot fall into a false sense of understanding and think we know what they need because they have a specific learning disability. All too many times students with learning disabilities are lumped into one category and expected to all act the same way. If you want to know how to best teach your students, ASK THEM!
