About Learning Disabled Programs and Services
- This school accepts Learning Disabled students according to the following definition:
- According to the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities, a learning disability is a "general term that refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and use of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical abilities." A learning disability is presumably due to central nervous system dysfunction, and is not primarily due to other handicapping conditions, environmental, or cultural influences. It is not a form of mental retardation, or an emotional disorder.
- There is support for Learning Disabled students but there is not a specific program available for Learning Disabled students.
- There is no limit to the number of Learning Disabled students.
