Teaching a child is hard. Even if a child is neurotypical, there are
still many challenges parents will face every single day. When your
child has a learning disability, it’s even more difficult, and learning
disabilities are more common than you might think. As of 2019, 6.7 million students from ages 3-21 in US public schools
were served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
While the act covers many types of disabilities, 33 percent of those
students are specifically served for learning disabilities. And these
numbers only account for those who qualify for service and are enrolled
in public school.
