How Common are
Learning Disabilities?
Very common! As many as 1 out of every 5 people in the United States has
a learning disability. Almost 3 million children (ages 6 through 21)
have some form of a learning disability and receive special education in
school. In fact, over half of all children who receive special education
have a learning disability (Twenty-fourth Annual Report to Congress,
U.S. Department of Education, 2002).
