The learning disabilities are NOT mental or cognitive retardation; an individual with a learning disability may have a common or above-average range of aptitude. Do you know great personalities like Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Nelson Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, Woodrow Wilson, George Patton, Walt Disney, and Hans Christian Anderson are all thought to have had learning disabilities? Every child with a learning disability is only one of its kinds and shows a dissimilar grouping and degree of technical hitches.
So, what is Learning Disability?
“Learning Disabilities” is an “umbrella” term unfolding a number of other, more detailed learning disabilities, such as dyslexia and dysgraphia. In short, and straightforward sense, a learning disability is a processing complicatedness along with any of our five senses that may be damaged.
As per the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities (NJCLD), “a heterogeneous group of disorders manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and use of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning or mathematical abilities. These disorders are intrinsic to the individual and presumed to be due to Central Nervous System Dysfunction. Even though a learning disability may occur concomitantly with other handicapping conditions (e.g. sensory impairment, intellectual disability, social and emotional disturbance) or environmental influences (e.g. cultural differences, insufficient/inappropriate instruction, psychogenic factors) it is not the direct result of those conditions or influences.”
Different Types of Learning Disabilities
The below are the different types of learning disabilities:
As a learning disability cannot be treated or fixed, hence, it is necessary to understand the significance of appropriate teaching techniques. With apt support and intrusion, children with learning disabilities can get success in school, and in the society.
Well, most of the basic instruction begins at home or sometimes, in school which can be adapted to contain the needs of students with learning disabilities. These teaching approaches become supportive for most students with a learning disability who have a preference for a comprehensible and well-thought-out educational program.
You need to be sensitive to the students with learning disabilities while teaching them. By understanding the significance of these teaching techniques, the SEN online courses slot in all these teaching methods. Every child with a learning disability is unique and shows a different arrangement and amount of difficulties.
