Tags: learning  disabilities  poetry  gifts  blog   Description: I was dignosed with a "learning disability" as a young child however before that my parents were told I was mentally handicapp and that I would never make it pass the 8th grade.I did make it pass the 8th grade. In fact, I graduated high school at the age of 20 and went on to graduate from College with a degree in Special Education. As adult, I view this as the greatest gift god has ever given because it has lead to greater tolerance and understanding of the world around, it has given me patience and a lead me to a career as a Special Education Teacher. Many people get learning disabilities and mental handicaps confused because of political correctness and inconsistent practices in the understanding and dealings of these lifetime difficulties. This has led to problems for me. So here are some definitions: Learning Disability: A person who has an average (100) or above average IQ and a severe deficit in achievement. formly known as minmal brain damage BEFORE 1969. MENTAllY DISABLED: An IQ of 70 or below and has difficultly functioning in society. I hope as an educator this enlightens some people out there.
