Case Study on Jose and Findings
Introduction
Many children in schools are classified as having a specific learning disability, an ingredient that guarantees a teacher to find students with learning disorders in a classroom. For these students; the likes of Jose to be successful, several factors have to be considered. A detailed focus on their individual achievements, individual progress, and individual learning should be given priority. Recent researches findings clearly give some hope that these children may be taught. However, specific strategies that apply to specific learning disabilities should be deployed for positive results. It takes patience commitment and involvement to see the yields of such strategies.
Difficulties in Identifying Children with Learning Disabilities and the Use of Generic Labels
Learning Disability as defined by (Harwel &Jackson 2011) is a heterogeneous turmoil of alleged neurological origin that is manifested differently and to various degrees at some stage in the life span of a child.

It is therefore imperative that family cooperation is instigated for an earlier identification. As in the instance of Mrs. Keiz, some families presume that some of this fade away only to realize that they develop slowly into adulthood.
Adjustments that should be made before Carrying an Evaluation for a Student whose language is Spanish

Jose had a problem remembering things a factor that was made difficult by the fact that the only language he knew was Spanish. Development of strong language command enables a child to be rooted in a complex cognitive process that includes memory, attention, visual perception and processing and executive function (Harwel &Jackson 2011). For other such students, I would recommend an adjustment in curriculum and instructions to ensure that proficiency in language and literacy skill is developed. Another remedy is introducing a well structured multisensory skill-based instruction that individualizes instructions for specific needs.
Factors that may cause Learning Disabilities in children
