    Author: Mason A, Mason M.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 2005 Feb; 52(1):61-70, viii. PubMed ID: 15748924.
    Abstract:
    The percentage of full-time college freshmen reporting disabilities at 4-year institutions remained stable (6-8%) between 1988 and 2000. By 2000, two in five freshmen with disabilities (40%) reported having a learning disability. In 2002, learning disabilities accounted for 51% of special education classifications. The effects of chronic school failure frequently shape the experience of students with learning disabilities. This article reviews common learning disabilities found in college students and provides suggestions for helping these students.
