Welcome to The NASET LD Report, NASET 's  e-publication on the latest information on learning disabilities.  Individuals with learning disabilities represent approximately 50% of all students receiving special education services.  Therefore, it is inevitable that special education professionals will be working with students with LD throughout their entire careers.  The NASET LD Report is a monthly education resource that provides NASET members with a comprehensive overview of learning disabilities.  The NASET LD Report will cover many areas of study in the field of LD. It will focus on the research, writing, and practical information that we have obtained on causes, characteristics, eligibility, assessment, and teaching strategies.
