I've discovered, also, that the strategies that work for LD students are
often useful strategies for non-LD students as well--unfortunately, it
doesn't always work the other way round.  Joan's response about a wide
arrary of strategies makes good sense.  It might also be a good idea to
talk with the people who work with students with LD--if not on your
campus, then elsewhere--there are number of  books for students with LD
that discuss some of these strategies to familiarize yourself with what
works for LD students in particular areas.  Then, if you're working with a
student who you suspect has an LD, you can try some of those strategies.
They certainly won't hurt, even if the student has no learning disability.
Offhand, I can think of Alley and Deshler's Teaching the Learning Disabled
Adolescent: Strategies and Methods, Love Publishing.
