What would happen if you were a bad speller or had dyslexia in shakespeares time?
Back then people didn't know about dyslexia so nothing would really happen, but the person wouldn't be seen as smart as one without if he actually went to school and tried to learn to read. Of course most people couldn't read anyway so it didn't matter. A dyslexic person, unless he worked as a typesetter, would probably not be noticed.
A bad speller would not be noticed even if he was a typesetter. Looking at the spellings in the print copies of Shakespeare's plays showed that there were not accepted spellings for words--you could spell the same word two or three different ways in the same sentence and people wouldn't care. Makes it hard to read though.

First of all, a deaf person cannot hear, so screaming, yelling, or modifying your voice in any way serves no purpose.
The best thing to do when trying to help a non-signing deaf person is to find out how they communicate. It may be one of the following ways:
- writing
- lipreading
- gesturing
- home-signs (a sign language that naturally develops in a household when no formal sign language is known).
If the situation warrants it, you can also try to teach them sign language.
Does learning disabilities effect non verbal communication?
some do, like nonverbal learning disorder.
Are expenses related to learning disabilities tax deductible?
No they are not deductible in most cases.
People often stop learning due to various factors, including a lack of time, motivation, or resources. As individuals settle into routines or face life’s responsibilities, they may prioritize immediate concerns over personal growth. Additionally, the fear of failure or feeling overwhelmed by new information can also hinder the learning process. Lastly, a fixed mindset can lead individuals to believe they are not capable of learning new things, causing them to disengage.
