IDEA defines a learning disability as a disorder in understanding or using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell or do mathematical calculations. Learning disabilities are a life-long issue. Language problems that go untreated in the early years of school can continue into high school and adulthood. As a child who suffered with an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), early intervention was very important for me to progress in school. I continue to this day, to utilize and build on compensatory techniques taught by my grade school Speech Pathologist. Henceforth, I have been able to succeed in school, social settings and now in college.

Learning disabilities are defined as the inability to process information and the inability to communicate effectively. This can cause problems during the child’s years in school. It is often characterized by as having a below average intellectual functioning level as well as below average adaptational skills.

The main purpose of this annotated bibliography is to help answer the question; can living in poverty have an impact on a child’s performance in school? Past experiences made me decide on this final research question. Being a military brat I was able to travel the world. While moving from place to place, I was able to spend 5 years of my life in Hawaii. While there I was exposed to an abundance of homeless people, families, others that were on the brink of being homeless. At the beach and on the side of the road you could see hundreds of tents of families who could no longer afford to live in a home. Set aside from not having a home, many of these families struggle to feed their children and send them to schools. Knowing that both of my parents

Library users today are able to meet most their information needs through the sources outside the library. The ubiquitous access to internet today and the rise of the companies like Google, Amazon and Wikipedia have provided viable alternatives to users for their information needs. So libraries are experiencing an evolutionary change in their traditional services. And the rapid evolving digital technologies can be seen as an opportunity for libraries as their need to evolve in the face of these new challenges.

There were a quantity of 126 participants randomly designated to be part of this study. From these 126 participants, 59 were male (47%) and 60 were female (48%) with 7 participants not providing their gender (5%). Ages ranging from a minimum of 17 to a maximum of 59 with a mean of 25.30 years (SD=8.77), while seven participant’s age information was missing. The sample population involved 30.2% Caucasian (N=38), 42.9% Hispanic (N=54), 1.6% Native Indian (N=2), 11.9 African American (N=15), 4.0 Asian American (N=5) and 6.3% reporting others (N=8).

The National Institute of Neurologic Disorders defines learning disorders as a; condition that either prevents or significantly hinders somebody from learning basic skills or information at the same rate as most people of the same age. It is important to note that this does not mean that the individual has less intelligence; it means that their brain or body is wired in a way that hinders or prevents development of a certain tasks. Many people often confuse learning disabilities with mental retardation but while both words describe similar conditions, the term learning disability and learning disorder are used to describe conditions that affect development in certain cognitive areas in otherwise healthy developed individuals.
