Your brain is like a gigantic file cabinet. All of the information is stored in files in the drawers. Your learning differences can misplace the files, mix up the files, or cause the drawers to get stuck so you can't get the information you are trying to find. But you are not dumb. If you were, your file cabinet would be empty!

Learning Disability Difficulties
Every person with learning disabilities (LD) is different. Some have a hard time doing one or two things. Some have a hard time doing many things. These are some of the things people with LD might have trouble with. See which ones sound like you.

• Difficulty with reading
• Difficulty with spelling and writing
• Difficulty with math
• Difficulty with memory
• Difficulty with paying attention
• Difficulty with getting and staying organized
• Difficulty with directions, time, and space
• Very active
• Very quiet
• Difficulty with physical education

Just because you have learning differences doesn't mean you are dumb. It doesn't mean you can't learn. You just learn differently. Your teachers and parents need to help you learn in ways that are right for you.


The Reading Clinic staff  has experience with learning differences. We provide students with a safe and accepting environment, engaging them in an ongoing process of discovery. In the dialogue-based format, students are better able to follow directions, stay on task, take more risks, complete assignments, and feel good about themselves.


The Reading Clinic identifies a student's basic needs and creates a tailored solution. The results are measurable, significant and most importantly, last a lifetime.
