Overview
In 2014-15, the number of children and youth ages 3-21 receiving special education services was 6.6million, which equals 13% of all public-school students. Learning disabilities affect up to 10% of children including dyslexia, autism and ADHD which works out to be two or three pupils in every classroom.
Thanks to advances in medical technology and knowledge, we live in a country and in an age where people with learning disabilities can now live normal, functional lives. This reaches children too, as children who have learning disabilities can receive the support and guidance they need to get the most out of their time in childhood, preparing them for their future.
