Movies with Students with LD

Hi, my name is Jen and I am an elementary education major at Bethel College. I am doing a project on learning disabilities. In my presentation I must incorporate a clip from a movie that portrays what a student with any kind of LD is like. I'm having a hard time trying to find one. I have found many with mental impairments, but have had no luck with LD. Does anyone out there know of a movie that I could rent or buy that would help me for my class. Please respond ASAP! Thank you.

"Rainman" is not about LD, but about autism.

Here's an easy one -- videotape "The Simpsons". Bart is (yes, exaggerated, it's a surrealistic cartoon after all) an example of ADHD and dyslexia. If you videotape reruns for a week or two you'll get some of the schoolroom episodes.

I just skimmed the site for movies, I honestly didn't read much into it!!

I am glad it might turn out to be helpful!
