Do Adults with Learning Disabilities experience social isolation?

We Answered:

Some people with certain disabilities lack the finesse needed in areas of social skills and unfortunately, parents and teachers take for granted that LD children will automatically "learn" social skills in the same manner that the rest of the population does. Children with LD often have difficulty understanding the subtle social cues that we use in social situations and that can make them seem "weird." For example, they may be at a loss when introduced to another person....not know what to say or how to make eye contact or even something as simple as properly answering the phone. Social skills is one of my areas of interest and I teach a curriculum that will help my students become productive members of the community, both socially and economically that they can generalize. Social isolation is a direct result of not developing the social skills required that permit some people with LDs to become accepted members of society.
