What are learning disabilities?
Learning disabilities, or learning disorders, are an
umbrella term for a wide variety of learning problems. A
learning disability is not a problem with intelligence or
motivation. Kids with learning disabilities aren’t lazy or
dumb. In fact, most are just as smart as everyone else.
Just that their brains are simply wired differently. This difference affects how they receive and process information, Simply put, children and adults with learning disabilities see, hear, and understand things differently. This can lead to trouble with learning new information and skills, and putting them to use. The most common types of learning disabilities involve problems with reading, writing, math,reasoning, listening, and speaking. It can be tough to face the possibility that your child has a learning disorder as no parent want to see their children suffer.
You may begin to wonder what it could mean for your child’s future, or worry about how your kid will make it
through school. Perhaps you’re concerned that by calling
attention to your child's learning problems he or she
might be labeled "slow" or assigned to a less challenging
class. But the important thing to remember is that most kids with learning disabilities are just as smart as everyone
else. They just need to be taught in ways that are tailored
to their unique learning styles. By learning more about
learning disabilities in general and your child’s learning
difficulties in particular, you can help pave the way for
success at school and beyond.
Signs and symptoms of learning disabilities
* Problems pronouncing words
* Trouble finding the right word
* Difficulty rhyming
* Difficulty controlling crayons, pencils, and scissors, or
coloring within the lines
* Trouble with buttons, zippers, snaps, learning to tie
shoes
* Slow to learn new skills
* Difficulty with reading comprehension or math skills
* Dislikes reading and writing; avoids reading aloud
* Spells the same word differently
* Trouble following classroom discussions and
expressing thoughts aloud
* Poor handwriting
Common Types of Learning Disabilities
* Dyslexia – Difficulty reading
* Dyscalculia – Difficulty with math ideas
* Dyspraxia (Sensory Integration Disorder) –Difficulty with fine motor skills
* Visual Processing Disorder – Difficulty interpreting visual information
* Dysphasia/Aphasia – Difficulty with language.
* ADHD – Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ,while not considered a learning disability, can
certainly disrupt learning. Children with ADHD often
have problems sitting still, staying focused, following
instructions, staying organized, and completing
homework.
* Autism – Difficulty mastering certain academic skills can stem from pervasive developmental disorders
such as autism and Asperger’s syndrome. Children with autism spectrum disorders may have trouble communicating, reading body language, learning basic
skills, making friends, and making eye contact
Getting Help For a Child with Learning Disabilities
* Learn the specifics about your child’s learning disability:Read and learn about your child’s type of learning disability. Find out how the disability affects
the learning process and what cognitive skills are
involved. It’s easier to evaluate learning techniques if
you understand how the learning disability affects
your child.
* Research treatments, services, and new theories:
Along with knowing about the type of Learning disability your child has, educate yourself about the most effective treatment options available. This can help you advocate for your child at school and pursue treatment at home.
* Pursue treatment and services at home:Even if the
school doesn’t have the resources to treat your child’s
learning disability optimally, you can pursue these
options on your own at home or with a therapist or tutor.
* Nurture your child’s strengths :Even though children
with learning disabilities struggle in one area of learning, they may excel in another. Pay attention to*your child’s interests and passions. Helping children with learning disorders develop their passions and strengths will probably help them with the areas of difficulty as well.

Quite educating....

The major part of the responsibilities lies with the parents and the teacher. The teacher especially needs to understand the specific and peculiar needs of kids with learning difficulties as I like to call it. The manner in which the needs of the kids are met will go a long way in shaping their academic and self development in the long run.
