Let's use the term ability rather than disability. This is not a PC statement but one of accuracy. We are talking about the way people learn and not the fact that they cannot learn. A true "disability" would be one where you were unable to learn or learn as well. IMHO, the fact that people learn differently is not a disability.
This does remind me of funny story of xH and me and directions. I like to get written directions AND a map. I like to see the map for orientation. Anyway... xH would be driving and ask me about directions. I always wanted to show him the map prior to the trip and at stoplights, etc. He had no interest in the map. "Just tell me where, when and what direction to turn." It was so funny in the beginning because I would be shoving the map into his face and he thought I was ridiculous. On the other hand I NEEDED to see the map and felt a bit frantic with no context for the written directions. Which of us was right? Neither we just needed what we needed. I think I read or heard something similar to GEL around those early years which explained the difference although I was well aware there WAS a difference.
