Ft. Bragg Program Helps
Learning-disabled
In Munich, Germany, during the
later years of the 19th century a
teacher whose name has been
"forgotten bellowed to his shy.
^ inarticulate student, "you will
' never amount to anything."
Years later, Albert Einstein
would prove that teacher wrong.
The theoretical physicist, who was
the victim of a poor memory and
teachers' ignorance, would never
speak fondly of his early school
'years.
Today, there are 45.000 students
in North Carolina schools and 280
students on Fort Bragg who have
problems learning through tradi
tional methods.
Five years have passed since
federal legislation first addressed
the problem of the learning dis
abled student. Since then, changes
in school systems throughout the
country have been made to locate
and assist those students. The Fort
Bragg school system in particular
has been credited for its efforts.
"I was very impressed with the
Fort Bragg program." said Mary
Ann Tharin, North Carolina's chief
consultant in the division for
exceptional children. Tharin added
that during workshops she often
has used some of Fort Bragg's
learning disabled projects as ex
amples to other communities.

each school year, according to the
Director of the Exceptional Chil
drens' Program of the Fort Bragg
school system. Helen S. Gustafson.
"It is the personal observations
of the teachers that lead to a
referral." said Gustafson. Tests
given at the beginning of the school
year give teachers an idea of where
to look, she added.
Once a student is referred, a
committee trained to recognize the
symptoms of a learning disabled
student notifies the parent and
prepares to test the child.
"There is no classic case for a
learning disabled student." said
Tharin. A battery of special tests is
required to determine if the child
has a learning disability.
In some cases, children cannot
understand written information,
explained Gustafson. Other chil
dren have problems understanding
oral instructions.
The school psychologist also tests
the child. If all the tests indicate a
learning disability, the school com
mittee then recommends how the
child's needs should be met. but
parents make the final decision.
Resource and consultative
teachers advise teachers of primary
and intermediate disa led students
on how to help the students. For
severely disabled students, the Fort
Bragg system provides two special
ized rooms, with a qualified teacher
and assistant for each room.
"If a student has a problem
understanding writing, we have
tapes and audio visual equipment
that can help." said Gustafson
about the specialized rooms.
With more than S13.000 worth of
equipment, the rooms allow
teachers to choose machines that
are geared toward auditory, visual
and even touch techniques to help
students learn their subjects.
Although the new teaching
methods are important for the
students learning, perhaps even
more important is what they are not
learning, suggested Tharin.
"Because of their academic diffi
culties. learning disabled students
have often developed feelings as
outcasts. Tfieir self concepts have
been very poor." said Tharin.
These concepts would often lead
towards criminal behavior, added
Tharin.
Nearly 100 years have passed
since a young genius suffered
humilation by teachers who. failed
to recognize or understand learning
disabilities.
Public laws and specialized
equipment put into use during the
past five years are evidence of
recent progress. Yet. several
parents of handicapped children
agree that, in the school, it is still
the teachers that cause the greatest
changes in the learning disabled
students' lives.
"It took teachers, teachers who
could understand the problem, to
help." said Carol Ornitz of Raleigh
regarding trouble that she had
finding help for her son several
years ago.
Damaris Trinidad of Fort Bragg,
echoing several parents of learning
disabled students in the Fort Bragg
schools. complimented the
teachers. "They act as friends for
the benefit of the child." said
Trinidad. "They try as hard as they
can for those kids."
