According to the Learning Disabilities Association of America, there are many different patterns of difficulties. For example, one adult may have a serious reading disability, while another may be able to read adequately, but not be able to communicate thoughts in writing or have difficulty with math. Most people with Learning Disabilities (85%) have a reading disability or dyslexia. Some adults with LD will have difficulty with self-control, perceiving social situations appropriately, and getting along with other people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
