If you've been diagnosed with a learning disability as a
child the disability most likely won't go away as you grow
older. In fact, you'll find yourself having to deal with
many other issues and tests as you become an adult. You'll
have to learn new ways to cope with the day to day living
challenges that being an adult presents to you.

As you grow older you'll have many life events that occur
and change the way you need to handle your disability.
You'll want to get married, have children, and be a
productive part of society. To be successful in life you'll
need to learn how to manage your disability in way that
allows you to flourish and be successful.

There are many different kinds of learning disabilities that
can have an impact on the way that you think, speak, listen,
read, and write. All of these disabilities will influence
how you reason and are able to compute information, such as
mathematical data. Since you need to use most of the above
mentioned skills on a daily basis, when these skills are
impaired you need to come up with ways to compensate and
adjust.

There will be times when you will be frustrated and angry
because others will not know how to handle your learning
disability. The people talking or interacting with you might
become impatient when they find that you are not able to
comprehend and compute what they are saying. While in
college you may find that you are not able to finish
assignments and all your courses in time and this may cause
frustration.

It is important for you to understand and recognize the
limitations that your learning disability poses for you. At
the same time you should live to the fullest and enjoy life
and not change or give up your goals. Also like the people
without a learning disability you should be able to enjoy
social relationships and parenthood etc.

There are several things that you can do to make your life
as a parent with a learning disability easier for both you
and your children. You want to reduce the amount of stress
and worry that your family experiences as a result of your
inability to comprehend some basic things, such as time
management.

One of the many tricks that you can follow to maintain
family relationships is to have a calendar prominently
displayed in the kitchen or other room in your home so that
you don't forget important family information. With this
calendar you will be able to keep track of dates and times
when you and your children need to be somewhere. This
constant visual reminder will always be there to refer to so
that you don't miss appointments and pick up times.

Organize your home as much as you can, and try to keep
things in permanent locations. This way you won't have to
waste valuable time searching for a missing item. Losing
things is a great source of anger and frustration.

Remember that it is very important to remain calm and
patient even when things are not going the way you may want
them to. Everyone, even those who don't have a learning
disability will have moments that are frustrating and
trying. Do not blame everything that goes wrong on your
learning disability.
