Learning Disability Services
Are you struggling with any of your classes?
Everyone learns differently. But sometimes this difference can be a sign of a learning disability. Students who have a learning disability have average or higher ability, but something is getting in the way of their learning.
Take the self-assessment quiz below to learn more about yourself and your learning style.
Learning Disability Self-Assessment Quiz
- Do you often have to think about telling left from right?
- Are you often the last person to finish tests, or sometimes do not finish because you run out of time?
- Do you do well on oral tests but poorly on written ones?
- Do you have difficulty finding the right words to express yourself verbally or in writing?
- When writing, if you can’t spell a word, do you often substitute a simpler word for the one you are thinking of?
- Do you read very slowly?
- Is it hard for you to understand and remember what you read?
- Do you have difficulty copying from the chalkboard?
- Is it difficult for you to listen to a lecture and take notes at the same time?
- Have you always been told that you are not trying hard enough, or not working up to your potential, when you are working hard?
- Do you excel in English but struggle with math? Or the other way around?

Next Steps... How Can We Help You After Your Assessment?
We provide educational support for currently enrolled LACC students with verified learning disabilities. The goal of the program is to promote success in an environment that is encouraging, accepting, and nonjudgmental. Each student works with their Learning Disabilities Specialist to determine:
- Learning strengths, weaknesses and degree of impact the disability has on the learning process
- Appropriate accommodations/ academic adjustments
- Recommendation and referral on and off campus
