What is it like to have a learning disability

I've only listened to about ten minutes of it and already want to share it with my dementia caregivers support group. There is a lot there that will be helpful to us too. Thanks for finding and sharing it, boomer.

I'm glad you checked it out and I hope it can be of some help.

I remember how frustrated my mom would get when caring for my dad. She knew he wasn't doing things on purpose but it was just so, so hard.

Yeah, me too with my mother.

A similar but different attempt at increasing understanding re disability: a pal of mine (we were design students together and rose in age and grace, career wise) ended up teaching at our school. I can't remember the exact class, but he had made the land site design students get around the big and not flat campus in wheel chairs, the idea being for them to be wiser about the problems of it all.

One thing that he said in the presentation that really rang a bell with me is the distinction between not paying attention and distractability -- that one is paying attention to nothing and one is paying attention to everything.
