However, all four students showed some degree of dislike and avoidance for writing and tasks which requires of them to draw. Found within the mathematics domain were students who displayed little or no problems with measurements, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets as well as using numbers and symbols. Nonetheless, most of them seem to have problems with issues such as solving worded problems, computation errors, and trouble learning multiplication tables and also trouble interpreting graphs and …show more content…
They were both observed to have poor grammar and they also misuse words in conversations to a severe degree. All four students exhibited behaviours such as halting speech, usage of vague and precise language and has limited vocabulary to a moderate degree. Both student B and C from the data gathered has severe social and emotional issues. These issues include but not limited to difficulty dealing with group pressure, self-control and does not respond appropriately to teasing.

All the students that were observed using the LD checklist are hereby recommended for further testing based on the characteristics exhibited by them either mildly, moderately, or severely. These characteristics according to the disability foundation includes students who have difficulty in learning specific skills such as reading, listening, speaking writing and mathematics as well if there is a discrepancy between the student’s achievements and his/her
