Life narrative of a senior school student with learning disabilities

Students with learning difficulties are a relatively common occurrence in the regular classroom, therefore it is important for teachers working in this type of setting to be aware of the unique needs of these students. By examining some of the issues for a Year 11 student with learning difficulties through a life narrative format, it is hoped that teachers will be more aware of the every day challenges a student with learning difficulties confronts. For the purpose of the life narrative, a sociological perspective has been taken in order to look at the changes and main themes which the student has identified throughout his educational history.
