I am a student at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. At present I am working on my master's in English Education.

As part of this course of study, I am taking a survey course that deals with exceptional learners. The course is extremely comprehensive and attempts to provide a satisfactory overview on a variety of issues.

Most recently we received an assignment to try and identify an ESOL student who also happens to be LD (learning disabled). We are to conduct an interview with the student's parents to try and gain an expanded understanding of the marriage of ESOL and LD.

I am having trouble located such a student. Given that these interviews can take place via the Internet, I thought of posting to various ESOL forums—including this one.

Please Email me if you are the parent or teacher of such a student. I would be grateful for your help and assistance, and look forward to hearing from you.

THANKS!

Gina

I'm not sure exactly how you would define learning disabled here. Does that include physical issues like hearing and sight?
