Hi Gregg! Thanks for you observations! True, it is often the case that an adult learner has an undiagnosed learning disability and it's difficult for us to help if we do not know the situation. Sometimes it can be a challenge with language, or vocabulary, and sometimes it is a challenge with how information is processed. As most of us are not specifically trained in adult learning disabilities or how to diagnose them, this causes a further challenge. I have often asked students privately, or for them to write down in their own words, the manner in which they feel that they learn the best and to also identify any challenges they might have in assimilating new information. I have done this without referring to learning disabilities (and without it becoming an excuse) in the hopes that their answers may better equip me to adapt my teaching methodologies accordingly.
