Today I received my winter edition of the Pro Parents newsletter. There were some interesting statistics in it regarding learning disabilities in S.C.
There are 108,756 children in South Carolina receiving special education services.
Most (47,412) of the students receiving special education services in S.C. are served under the disability category of learning disability.
The next highest disability category is speech/language, serving 21,193 students.
My nine year old son falls into the LD category. I was amazed to find out that the majority of special education students are receiving services for the same condition. As compared to the "normal" student population my son is in the minority. However, as compared to the special education population, he is in the "norm."
