Abstract

Learning Disabilities are typically detected when children reach school age. It is the period when certain targets demands are placed; whereas the children�s abilities to process cognitive and social skills are different compared to their peers. This study is intended to 1) map out the types of Learning Disabilities commonly found in elementary schools; 2) describe the children�s challenges and needs in the learning process; and 3) suggest adaptations and modifications necessary to support their learning processes. The findings show that the school system has already made efforts despite the lack of information and teacher training programs in this area. This study would be a great reference for educators and families with diverse abilities, especially in Indonesia.
