Article: [SENco-forum] A call for thoughts: headings

I know teachers and psychologists like the label "Specific Learning
Difficulties", but I have never heard a teenager or adult say "I have
specific learning difficulties" it just isn't used.

My daughter prefers not to talk about her dyslexia, its less hassle; she has
friends who are more severe and knows she is different from them so doesn't
make a thing of it. Some teachers have worked out that she has dyslexic
difficulties and she will tell some of them on a one-to-one basis where she
needs more support.
