Specific Learning : Disorders (SLD) in reading, written expression & math occur in students with average or above-average IQ's. Ask your mom for copies of public school testing that made you eligible for Special Ed for SLD. Seek a neuropsychological evaluation to obtain academic supports from your college. Please read pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/124/2/837. Neither vision therapy nor medication is useful.
