How can i become a learning disability nurse?

Anybody with a learning disability or experience with one?

• Can someone tell me what the upside is to a learning disability?? When I say learning disability I am referring to inattentive ADD or someone with a hard time reading, spelling, comprehension etc. I wonder this because you hear how if you loose one sense the other 4 become stronger type thing. Do people with these problems typically excel in a different area? Thx for serious responses in advance!

• Answer:

  I also had trouble reading, and I realized that when I was reading, I was reading the spaces around the words, rather than the actual words. I was lucky enough to be working with an occupational therapist who taught me how to read when reading spaces. Today, I read faster than anyone else I know. I can run my eye down the page and have read the entire page in no more than 10 seconds, all because I read the page's spaces rather than the words in the spaces. I wouldn't be to quick to call it a learning disability. I always hated being associated with the special ed students because of the stigma attached with it. I was always a really smart kid. I am still smart. I called it a learning difference. Society lumps those who learn differently than individuals in the mainstream into categories that they call people with learning disabilities. I surprised to see that my learning "disability" was actually something I did really well; it's something that I still do well.
