This research paper: This is a 5 page paper discussing the federal definition of learning disabilities, the characteristics and the exclusions. While the federal definition of learning disabilities has allowed for the labeling of children with learning disabilities to obtain services and support in the educational system, the definition also allows for the exclusion of some children who need services and who many believe are learning disabled because of their disorders. Several characteristics of the definition rely on performance discrepancies based on aptitude-achievement testing which vary from state to state. In addition, several disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and several emotional and behavioral disorders are excluded but educators and researchers believe impair academic performance. In other instances, many children who would be state labeled as mentally retarded are often labeled by the school boards as learning disabled because of reluctance to label children as mentally retarded based on controversial definitions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
