Learning disability in its world

What is learning disability?

Learning disability is a general term that describes specific kinds of learning problems, a neurological disorder. Learning disability can cause a person to have trouble learning and using certain skills. 

The skills most often affected are:

Reading,

Writing,

Listening,

Speaking,

Reasoning, and

Doing math.

Learning disabilities (LD) vary from person to person. One person with learning disabilities may not have the same kind of learning problems as another person with learning disabilities. Researchers think that learning disabilities are caused by differences in how a person's brain works and how it processes information. Children with learning disabilities are not "dumb" or "lazy." In fact, they usually have average or above average intelligence. Their brains just process information differently.

There is no "cure" for learning disabilities. They are life-long. However, children with learning disabilities can be high achievers and can be taught ways to get around the learning disability. With the right help, children with learning disabilities can and do learn successfully. While some disabilities can be the result of accidents leading to paralysis, brain damage, others are genetic. For example, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, blindness, not to mention Autism, dyslexia, etc. The disabled or differently abled have a different set of emotional and physical needs which parents or careers should be mindful of.

So If you or are living/caring for someone with a disability, lets hear your experiences, whatever concerns you might have...!
