Andrea,

This is a really interesting question to me because so often, I don't have
a way to find out for sure what is going on with the student, so the
disability can't be typified in a way that really uses any real data
besides observation of the student working. But, I do find that many
accomodations are the same for varying things -- putting fewer things on a
page, using larger print,  allowing time for students to work and
communicate, recognizing frustration and addressing it, setting attainable
goals, and modifying if things aren't working. I think I do start seeing
repeated behaviors or learning styles, but so often I just think to myself
--"Oh, this is like the way Susie learned." 

But I am really working blind most of the time because my students don't
have a way to get assessed for LD.
