Occasionally, it is difficult to determine the learning style with which a child is most successful.   Perhaps, implementing techniques for success are not increasing learning and comprehension in a student. When this is evident, professionals first rule out a physical cause for the learning problem. This is in the form of eye exams, hearing exams and a general physical examination.  The next step is to assess the student with appropriate tools to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in learning style and determine if a learning disability (LD) exists. LD is a neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to receive, process, store, and respond to information.

When a student is diagnosed with a learning disability it must be remembered that more than a difference or difficulty with learning is present. However, the diagnosis of a learning disability provides helpful information for the student, educator and parent. There are techniques and coping skills that will build the learning style that is low and therefore, give the student more success in learning.  The diagnosis also gives clues to the way the student learns best, and therefore, techniques and subject areas that highlight that learning style may be implemented to build self-esteem and confidence in learning. Learning coping skills and life skills will benefit and impact the development of LD students.
