Counseling and Accommodating the Student with Learning Disabilities.
Learning disabilities (LD) in adults, which can include problems in visual perception, auditory perception, intersensory development, motor skills, or directional abilities produce such academic problems as difficulty in thinking in an orderly and logical way and in dealing with time concepts. Accommodations for LD college students may include using taperecording and notetaking services and role playing social situations. Counseling techniques should emphasize information, positive reinforcement, and specific feedback. Support groups of other LD students may be helpful. (CL)
