Question

【題目】Having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't learn，but you'll need some help and you'll need to work extra hard.If you have a learning disability remember that you are not slow.

Learning disabilities can be genetic(遺傳的；基因的 )．That means they can be passed down in families through the genes.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.Educators now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works—and it's easier for kids to get the help they need.

“Dyslexia”is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing.Kids who have trouble with math may have “dyscalculia”．Other kids may have “l(fā)anguage disorders”，which means they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.

It can be confusing，though.How do we tell if a student has a learning disability? Reading，doing math，and writing letters may be difficult for lots of kids at first.But when those early troubles don't fade away (逐漸消失)after they have grown up，and it's really difficult for them to make any progress，it's possible the kid has a learning disability.

Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.You might feel different from everyone else.But the fact is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning psychologist has found out which one you're facing，you're on the right route.Now，you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.But for this special help to really work，you'll need to practice the new skills you're learning.It may take a lot of effort (努力) every day.That can be a challenge，but you can do it.Soon，you'll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school!
