I have a auditory and visual processing disorder and a LD for short term memory and sequential memory recall You must advocate yourself in higher education I just got my doctorates in educational leadership with a 40 which took me three years and prior my masters in education with a 39 gpa which took me one year I barely got a 30 for my bachelors which took over eight years Classes get easier when you’re able to take courses that you’re actually interested in and want to pursue Just do NOT let anyone ever make you second guess yourself You process information differently than the rest of the world which which gives you skills and perspectives that are so so valuable If professors don’t know how to present information to you in a way that’s accessible to how you learn, it’s their own failure as an educator to implement UDL or universal design for learning It’s not because you lack ANYTHING Figure out how you learn best, apply it and capitalize off those skills Comment from : David |

I have a mild learning disability I know how that feel Comment from : Mikia Martin |
|
i, like all of you have a LD it’s taken me 3 years to get an AA Please, if you have gotten accommodations has it genuinely helped u? would u like more support? what would that support look like, the crazier ideas the better!! These comments have opened my eyes & shown me it takes us almost twice as long to get a bachelors degree i see im not the only one who has been taken away financial aid bc i can’t meet their academic requirements your comments prove that this education doesn’t take into consideration our background I would say this should be more of an incentive for a lot more & out of the box accommodations students like all of us are fighting huge statistics A lot of us enter college & colleges don’t make an effort to retain students like us it doesn’t surprise me a lot of y’all don’t seek accommodations embarrassment, not enough support, stigma, and ignorance over this topic from others shies us away i have a huge list of suggestion but if I were to voice these i wouldn’t be taken seriously, but this only shows how much more support we need (those of that want it) they are so out of the box that I have to consider my peers whether my suggestions are too much of an advantage when it’s clearly taking us almost TWICE as long to graduate so ridiculous since we’re already on an uneven Plainfield The process for requesting accommodations is not good either we have suggestions, are colleges willing to learn and act? don’t just pride urself in being inclusive— ask us how u can be proactive for us more people like us graduating benefits colleges after all Keep fighting everyone! you are seen & you are heard don’t let comments, education and learning disabilities define your self-worth don’t let this stop you from valuing life, been there I can also relate to teachers professors and family members mocking me for my challenges and completely doubt i’ll graduate remember you’re fighting things greater than you, a system that’s not catered for us folks with learning disabilities wishing y’all nothing but success and that your doubters eat their words!! blessings Comment from : Sara Rivas |

I have a learning disability too as well as ADHD and I was in a special Ed class in elementary school but in high school I was put in all regular classes with mostly bad teachers that did not understand my disability and didn’t give me appropriate accommodations (Even when I asked for them and even though I had an IEP) It’s honestly a miracle I passed high school but I’m going to college this fall and I am honestly terrified Comment from : SDS |

In elementary, middle school, I used to get yelled at by my teachers saying "this is ridiculous" You are a grown lady My elementary teacher said, "you won't pass 6th grade, middle school, and high school nobody will accept you" It was hard and depressing I wanted to take my own life I felt I was the only one, will I even have a business, or be good at math which is important, or your future? I also overthink a lot of what was going to happen to me Comment from : Elizabeth Mendoza |
|
I was place in a so call special ed class in highschool but it wasn't with special students just another class with learning disability students like me I just hated how they named my classes it was embarrassing to show my classes with my other friends so when they bring up that topic i would usually lie and also leave and tell them I have to go Im 25 and still hiding it Comment from : fatfitness vang |

:( I needed this ted talk I have a physical disability, ADHD, and mood problems All of this combined makes it sooo difficult to study, learn, memorize, and find motivation to type and do homework through the severe pain i have due to my physical disability I don't feel comfortable talking about my disabilities and i feel like in my last class my professor was constantly out to get me and getting mad over turning in assignments late even though he knew about my disability and accommodations:/ Comment from : Katarina Villalta |

"Your professors do not know how to specifically help you They are not learning specialists" This sounds like a hiring issue to me People who do not want to specialize in learning should not become professors Comment from : Sage Garland Singer-Songwriter |

The way I see it everybody has a disability of some kind Learning and education shouldn't be standard or standardized no individual is created equal in the mind or in the body We are not a product or an item on a assembly-line Education and learning should be as an individual thing not in a mass production thing Just saying Comment from : just A kitty |

I have a learning disability called Cognitive Dysfunction that has similar symptoms to what you descried, though its not as severe I forget things, loose track of what I'm saying mid-sentence or loose count I can't add passed 10 either without a calculator unless i can remember a certain pattern to it and need my fingers to count, and that made me very unpopular with my math teacher I had through most of high school I could never finish my work on time and the class rule was whatever you don't finish is homework, and I had so much homework every single day I couldn't finish it all, and she just said I was lazy and gave me detention for it, despite the school's support staff knowing about it and trying to explain it to her, she never believed them, or the doctor's reports I gave her explaining my disability I remember being in year 9 or 10 math, and feeling so ashamed of myself because of a comment she made (I don't THINK it was aimed at me specifically, but i had my head in my workbook so I couldn't tell) where she joked that anyone who needs their fingers to count needs to go back to kindergarten I ended up getting the government's board of education to recognise my disability right before my final year 10 exams, despite the fact she refused to submit her report and opinion on my condition I got special provisions for my exams and ended up acing them, including math and this year i graduated from university Comment from : Cy the Cyborg |
