Check out this article that covers 5 common misconceptions about children with developmental disabilities. It is really interesting to see a "myth-busting" approach to learning disabilities, considering most people do have stereotypes regarding disabilities (i.e., that IQ is lower in those with learning disabilities, or that disabilities can be "fixed" or just go away with time). I think this article is a good resource on an elementary level for people who have little understanding of children with learning disabilities, and are open to learning the truth behind these special students. |
