(Heward, Alber-Morgan, & Konrad, 2018, p. 144).]]> 2020-07-21 17:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sontoshaorbin/bfm7kixnf655gtzo/wish/659408893 sontoshaorbin https://padlet.com/sontoshaorbin/bfm7kixnf655gtzo/wish/659409280 Some general characteristic of children and youth with learning disabilities are: difficulty reading, writing deficits, math underachievement, poor social skills, attention deficits with hyperactivity, behavior problems, and low self-esteem or self-efficacy. “The signature characteristics of students with learning disabilities is severe low achievement despite generally effective instruction and intelligence within normal range” (Heward, Alber-Morgan, & Konrad, 2018, p. 151).]]> 2020-07-21 17:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sontoshaorbin/bfm7kixnf655gtzo/wish/659409280 sontoshaorbin https://padlet.com/sontoshaorbin/bfm7kixnf655gtzo/wish/659409860 Due to the wide range of learning disabilities, in most cases, the cause of a child’s learning disability is unknown. “Three classes of suspected causes include brain damage or dysfunction, heredity, and environmental factors” (Heward, Alber-Morgan, & Konrad, 2018, p. 153).]]> 2020-07-21 17:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sontoshaorbin/bfm7kixnf655gtzo/wish/659409860 sontoshaorbin https://padlet.com/sontoshaorbin/bfm7kixnf655gtzo/wish/659410175 Since a child must be educated in their least restrictive environment, or with their non-disabled peers to the greatest extent possible, there are many placement alternatives for students with learning disabilities. Students with learning disabilities may be placed in the general education classroom with or without a “consultant” special education teacher, in a resource room, or in a separate classroom.
