[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 84482, member: 3493"] My dyslexic son is considered learning disabled. My other son with expressive writing disorder is considered learning impaired in English but is in honors math and science. The Learning Disability (LD) child is in a private school, the other is in mainstream gen ed at our local middle school. For the life of me, the only thing I can figure out is that one boy's situation (dyslexia) is something he was born with and the other boy's is considered reactive (to the fact that he had almost no hearing as a child and was behind in speech, etc) and not inborn. I think the thought is that if you can get past all the stuff that "impairs" him, he would have no Learning Disability (LD), whereas with the other one, you can remediate all you want, but he will always be dyslexic. I don't know, this is just how I manage to fool myself. [/QUOTE]
