What is beneficial about my child having a learning disability?

The benefits of a learning disability - sounds like an oxymoron?  

If you have a child who has a learning disability, take heart ...... here are some crucial characteristics your child may have that other children without learning disabilities might not have:

1.  Children with a learning disability are used to needing to work harder than non-disabled children to achieve their goals.  This often makes them hard workers in school and on the job.

2.  Children with a learning disability often reason differently or visualize differently than most children.  This makes them innovative and creative.

3.  Children with a learning disability have to use all resources available to them to solve problems and often have to “think outside the box”.  This makes them inquisitive and resourceful.

4.  Knowing how much they have struggled with learning themselves, children with a learning disability are often compassionate and caring individuals who work well with others.
