Introduction to Learning Disabilities | Origin: ED132

The biggest takeaway for me is that learning disabilities and dyslexia and reading difficulties are not always one in the same. The takeaway was the extreme disadvantage a student is put in if they miss a level in reading and it goes unchecked. It's easy to forget it is not magic to learn how to do something like spell and read in chunks there were steps to it, and if a student missed that step he/she is automatically at a disadvantage and has to be taught correctly to catch up.
