My son did not mention LD specifically, but in reading his essay, it was obvious. In other words, it was never the main focus of the essay, but he said something to the effect “despite learning differences…” so the inference was there. There is nothing on his transcript about his LD. I would agree that it probably is important to find out how supportive a college might be, and what resources would be available, and no, there is no affirmative action for LD, but once accepted on the same basis as others, the support services are usually available.
