Beating the Odds—Nothing Is Impossible, Its Just a Road Less Traveled

By contrasting students with learning disabilities and students with schizophrenia, it becomes conspicuously clear that they face many of the same hurdles. I know through personal experience because I have both. Postsecondary institutions are making great strides in balancing the scales for disabled students. Special education for learning-disabled students is more a hindrance than a benefit; mainstreaming many learning-disabled students seems a more appropriate option. Students need to take advantage of the services that are most beneficial to them. The least restrictive environment is predominantly, if not always, the correct choice.

Keywords: schizophrenia/learning disability/schizoaffective
