"I Am My Learning Disability" includes personal narratives on overcoming learning disabilities and coping with the disability. "Learning Disabilities and Delinquency" deals with the justice system and describes an individual with a learning disability who is incarcerated. "The Experience of Siblings" addresses the feelings and relationships of siblings of children with learning disabilities. "The LD Experience" discusses self-esteem issues of individuals with learning disabilities. The School-to-Work Opportunities Act is also reviewed. An adult with learning disabilities describes her journey to become an attorney. "Independent Living" includes an article on self-determination and one on moving from an institution to independence. A section titled "Features" has articles on recording for the blind and medical screening of children with disabilities. "Schooling" addresses issues in choosing a school for students with special needs, handwriting, and remediating language deficits in a language-based curriculum.
