How to Write a Letter to Prove a Learning Disability

Proving a learning disability cannot generally be done simply by letter alone. Depending on who you are writing to -- a school, the government, an employer or so on -- the recipient may have different requirements of proof. Sending the requested items with your letter is the best way to ensure your letter has every chance of acceptance.

Instructions

• 1

  Contact whoever will be receiving your letter and ask if he has any special requirements to prove that you or the person you are writing about has a learning disorder. Make a note of any such requests.

• 2

  Write your name, company title, address and phone number on the top left of the page. Leave one empty line, then write the same information for the recipient. You should try to address it to a specific person whenever possible. Leave another line and write a standard greeting: "Dear So and So:"

• 3

  Begin by stating why you are writing the letter. Tell the recipient why you are writing and what you hope to gain by doing so. This may be because someone requested such information, or because it's a special rule. What you want to gain may be to receive some kind of acknowledgment, special services or benefit based on the provided proof.

• 4

  Explain the evidence you have attached to the letter clearly. Tell the recipient what it is, who gave it to you and how it proves your claims.

• 5

  Thank the recipient in advance for reviewing this information and for a quick reply. Leave one blank line. Write "Sincerely" or an equivalent farewell below. Type your name several spaces below "Sincerely," leaving room for your signature.

  Attach the proof you have obtained and send the letter to the appropriate party.
