This section is a great reminder that the learning disabilities, though challenging, can be accommodated if they are recognized. It has been my personal experience in education that our younger adult learners are more apt to seek assistance from disability service counsellors than are our older learners. Also, after teaching adult learners for a number of years, I have found that older learners often exhibit similar social and learning behaviors to our younger students who have had formal LD/ADHD evaluations, but those older learners (over 40) may not have ever had a formal evaluation or learning diagnosis. This creates a unique challenge for the educator.
