Here is Edward Bear coming
downstairs now, bump, bump, bump,
on the back of his head...
It is, as far as he knows,
the only way of coming downstairs,
but sometimes he feels that
there is another way...if only
he could stop bumping for a moment
and think about it.
-- Winnie-the-Pooh, A.A. Milne, 1926

When I first read this post, I wasn't quite sure what it had to do with what we were learning about. But then I read the title of the post. It is a clear example of how hard it is for a learning disabled student to concentrate on something so simple. It shows the true frustrations of a child. In some children, their mind is constantly moving their for they can't sit and think of other ways to accomplish something. They get so distracted they are unable to conquer the easiest task.
In the future we will be able to help learning disabled students in a variety of ways. Chips could be implanted in the brain, that can monitor their thoughts and supress the constant thoughts that are unneeded.
Artificial intelligence technologies can predict patterns of a persons susceptibility to a disease or learning disability, giving us more time to figure a way to help them (Future For All).
In the future all children will have an opportunity to learn in an environment that is best for them.
