One of the unfortunate things that accompany a learning disability is the stigma attached to it. Don?t let this stigma keep you or your child from getting the proper learning tools available to your family that you are entitled to. There are so many resources out there to help your child work through their learning disability but in most cases it takes effort and diligence on the part of the parent to make sure your child is getting those resources. Stay on top of it and your child will get the help they need. Also remember there are many successful people out there who have achieved greatness despite their learning disabilities: Bill Gates ? autism, Albert Einstein, Walt Disney, John Lennon, and Henry Ford ? all had ADHD or ADD, Pablo Picasso, Tom Cruise, Richard Branson, Whoopie Goldberg, Leonardo Da Vinci ? have/ had dyslexia.
