Below are some common myths and facts regarding learning disabilities.
01
MYTH: Learning disabilities are not common.
FACT: Learning disabilities are common. In the 2010 U.S. Census, 4.6 million Americans reported having
a learning disability, and one out of every 20 public school students is identified as having a learning
disability.
02
MYTH: Common causes of learning disabilities include watching too much TV, eating a poor diet,
lack of early parent/teacher involvement
FACT: While the specific nature of learning disabilities within the brain is not completely known, it is
known that they arise from neurological differences in brain structures and functions that affect a
person’s ability to receive, store, process, retrieve, or communicate information. There is both a genetic
component and an increased risk among children who are exposed in utero, or in early development, to
toxic materials such as lead.
03
MYTH: Learning disabilities are linked to a lower IQ.
FACT: By definition, people with learning disabilities have average or above intelligence. Learning
disabilities are not caused by having low cognitive ability (low IQ).
04
MYTH: People with learning disabilities are lazy.
FACT: People with learning disabilities work just as hard as those without learning disabilities. In fact, it
is a requirement of both special education law (IDEA) and medical guidelines (DSM-V) that people with a
learning disability/disorder must have a history of receiving interventions in their areas of difficulty
before being diagnosed. That means that before someone can be identified as having a learning
disability/disorder, she must have done even more work in the area of difficulty on top of the work all
students do.

What Matters Most...
This will be accomplished by applying for and receiving private grants. Once awarded the company will issue scholarships/grants to young scholars attending Title 1 schools as amended by the, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The company will contact each student's school counselor for educational cumulative records and Texas 504 accommodations to assess each student's specific needs in the areas of learning disabilities. An application process will need to be completed due to The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99), which is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. Upon further review, students will receive a scholarship/grant in order to seek private intensive tutoring in order to excel and succeed in their educational journey.
