<p>“has anyone done studies as to why such a community has so many kids with LD? is it the water, the air, the video games?”</p>
<p>That is the big mystery, and something very strange must be happening there, however one factor could be that many of the firms doing so-called “Psychoeducational evaluations” -may tend to be located in these affluent areas such as Greenwich or nearby -not that is matters anyways because some of these firms offer “fly-in” in person diagnosis anywhere in the country</p>
<p>What I cannot fathom is: if it turned out certain kids (with the help of LD status) ended up getting 2400 SAT scores and other (non-LD) kids in the class were scoring in the 2300 or lower range - and these fake LD kids were grabbing the slots in the top colleges - wouldn’t someone at these schools blow the whistle?</p>
<p>Note that apparently a publication called EDUCATION WEEK back in 2001 flagged Greenwich as a problem with 1 out 3 (at that point) designated as Learning Disabled - years before Slate and other spoke of a 1 in 2 rate</p>
