This research is to investigate how we can practically support children with Learning Disabilities (LD). The concept of LD is used differently in such fields as education, medicine, and the actual functions of life. This paper first examines these conceptual differences. Then, to assess LD, the paper discusses different cognitive processes and mental abilities based on psychological assessment batteries such as WISC-III and K-ABC. Finally, some case studies of LD children are presented and, based on the results of the assessment, some practical support methods which use their strengths in cognitive processes are proposed.
