LEARNING DISABILITY
A learning disability is a disorder that affects one or more basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using spoken or written language. It can manifest as difficulties with listening, thinking, speaking, reading, writing, spelling, or math. Common causes include genetics, problems during pregnancy/birth, brain injuries, and environmental factors like poor early education. Learning disabilities are diagnosed by comparing IQ and achievement test scores - a significant discrepancy indicates a learning disability. Specific types of learning disabilities include dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and others related to language, motor skills, sensory processing and more.
Dysgraphia
Dysgraphia is a neurological disorder that impairs written expression. It is characterized by illegible writing, difficulty with letter formation and sizing, and problems keeping letters on a line. Students with dysgraphia have trouble transferring visual information to fine motor skills required for writing. Accommodations include specialized pencil grips, handwriting programs, assistive technology like speech-to-text software, and extra time to complete written assignments. Effective interventions focus on both correcting handwriting through explicit instruction and bypassing writing through the use of computers.

Here's a presentation on the meaning, types and symptoms of Learning Disability.
Learning disabilities
The document discusses learning disabilities, defining them as discrepancies between ability and academic achievement in individuals of average intelligence. It outlines seven main categories of learning disabilities: reading, mathematics, written language, spoken language, memory, metacognition, and attributions. More than half of students with learning disabilities have issues with reading, such as dyslexia, while one in four struggle with mathematics. Problems with written language, spoken language, memory, and metacognition are also explained.
Specific learning disorders
This document discusses specific learning disorder (SLD), also known as dyslexia. It defines SLD as a neurodevelopmental disorder that impairs academic skills like reading, writing, and math. SLD is lifelong but can vary in severity, and is more common in males. Signs often appear in childhood and include difficulty with reading, spelling, writing, and math skills. The document provides diagnostic criteria for SLD and discusses differentiating it from other disorders and conditions.
Learning Disabilities
The document discusses learning disabilities (LD), including definitions, types, identification processes, prevalence rates, student characteristics, and intervention strategies. It defines LD as difficulties with language-based skills like reading, writing, listening, speaking, and math. Common types include dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Identification involves assessing discrepancies between IQ and achievement, and most students are identified by third grade. Prevalence rates for LD in public schools are around 5% of students. Effective interventions emphasize explicit, targeted instruction in areas like phonological awareness, decoding, and comprehension skills. Teacher training is important to address LD properly.
Learning disabilities
This document discusses learning disabilities and provides information about their characteristics, causes, identification, and educational provisions. Learning disabled children suffer from serious learning problems, exhibit symptoms like hyperactivity and impulsivity, and demonstrate a significant educational discrepancy compared to normal children despite having normal intelligence. Their difficulties can be caused by genetic, physiological, or environmental factors. They are identified through testing and assessment and experience problems with handwriting, spelling, reading, communication, reasoning, social skills, attention, and mathematics. Educational provisions for learning disabled children include specialized schools, remedial programs, improving existing environments, and specialized teaching approaches like behavior modification.
LEARNING DISABILITIES.pdf
Learning disabilities refer to neurological disorders that can affect areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They are caused by impairments in processes like language processing, memory, attention, and executive functions. Specific learning disabilities include dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia which impact reading, writing, and math abilities respectively. Neuroimaging research shows differences in brain structure and activity in regions associated with these skills in individuals with learning disabilities compared to typical peers. Genetics and biological factors during pregnancy may also contribute to increased risk. Early identification and specialized instruction targeting areas of difficulty can help individuals with learning disabilities achieve academic success.
Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are neurological disorders that affect how individuals process information. They can impact areas like reading, writing, math, organization, motor skills, and social skills. Common learning disabilities include dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, visual processing disorders, and non-verbal learning disabilities. While learning disabilities cannot be cured, they can be managed through accommodations and specialized instruction tailored to each individual's needs.
Learning disability!!!
The Learning Disabilities Diagnostic Inventory (LDDI) is a diagnostic assessment tool used to identify learning disabilities in children ages 8-17. It consists of six scales that assess listening, speaking, reading, writing, mathematics, and reasoning abilities. Scores are given in stanines and percentiles to indicate the likelihood of processing disorders in these areas. The LDDI has high reliability and validity. It was designed to control for biases by including diverse participants in its norming sample and examining results across demographic groups. The LDDI provides a diagnostic profile that can be compared to known patterns associated with specific learning disabilities.
Sped 4 Learning Disability Definition and Types
This document discusses learning disabilities. It defines a learning disability as a classification that causes difficulties in learning in a typical manner, often due to unknown factors that affect the brain's ability to process information. Learning disabilities can make it challenging for individuals to learn as quickly or in the same way as others. The document outlines several types of learning disabilities, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and nonverbal learning disabilities. It also discusses how learning disabilities are diagnosed through testing of cognitive abilities, academic performance, and classroom observations.
Causes of learning disabilities
The document discusses the causes of learning disabilities. Experts are unsure of the exact causes, but some possibilities include heredity as learning disabilities can run in families. Problems during pregnancy and birth such as illness, injury, low birth weight, or drug/alcohol use could also be factors. Incidents after birth like head injuries, malnutrition, or exposure to toxins may contribute to learning disabilities developing. Acquired brain trauma, biochemical imbalances, environmental factors, and poor instruction have also been theorized as potential causes.
learning disability
Learning disabled children have significantly impaired learning abilities compared to their peers. They may exhibit symptoms like hyperactivity, impulsiveness, anxiety, and disorders in memory, thinking, attention, perception or motor skills. Learning disabilities can be caused by genetic/heredity factors, physiological issues like brain damage or neurological difficulties, or environmental factors like poor prenatal/early childhood environment, lack of early learning stimulation, or imitative of defective learning models. Common types of learning disabilities include dysgraphia (writing), dyslexia (reading), dyscalculia (math), dyspraxia (motor skills), and dysphasia (language). When dealing with learning disabled children, teachers should provide positive feedback, practice opportunities, consult specialists
Communication Disorder SPED
Communication is the process of expressing and receiving ideas through language, speech, and other means. Typical speech and language development follows predictable patterns through childhood. Speech disorders involve difficulties producing sounds, while language disorders involve challenges with comprehension, expression, or formulation of ideas. Communication disorders can be caused by brain injury, disease, lack of early stimulation, or other factors. Students with communication disorders are evaluated and teachers adapt instruction to support their needs through techniques like repetition, visual aids, and social skills training. Alternative communication systems can also help those unable to communicate verbally.
Learning disability
A learning disability is described as:-
A state of arrested or incomplete development of mind
Significant impairment of intellectual functioning
Significant impairment of adaptive/social functioning
ISAA TEST MANNUAL(2).pdf
The document describes the Indian Scale for Assessment of Autism (ISAA), an objective assessment tool used to diagnose autism in India. ISAA consists of 40 items across 5 domains that are rated on a 5-point scale to assess characteristics of autism. It is administered through observation, informant interview, and testing interactions with the individual. Scoring involves assigning percentages to indicate the frequency and intensity of behaviors, with higher scores suggesting greater impairment and dependency. ISAA provides a standardized way to evaluate autism symptoms and severity in individuals.
Sensory Impairments
Teachers need basic information about visual and hearing impairments, including definitions, signs, characteristics of students, and classroom adaptations. Visual impairments range from legal blindness to low vision. Hearing impairments include conductive and sensorineural losses. For both, classroom strategies involve positioning, visual aids, clear speech, and technology assistance. Teachers should learn student needs and modify instruction to promote inclusion.
Comorbidities associated with Learning disabilities-ADHD,ASD
This document discusses learning disabilities and comorbidities such as ADHD. It defines ADHD according to the DSM and ICD criteria. ADHD is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It has genetic and environmental causes. Treatment involves medication, cognitive behavioral therapy, parent training, social skills training, and educational accommodations. The document provides diagnostic criteria and strategies to manage ADHD symptoms and impairments.
Types of Learning Disabilities
This document discusses several learning disorders: Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder, which affects how the brain processes and understands auditory information; Dyscalculia, which involves difficulties with mathematical concepts and operations; Dysgraphia, which impacts written expression; Dyslexia, characterized by problems with reading; and Dyspraxia, a disorder involving motor control and coordination. For each, it outlines common signs and symptoms and provides strategies to help students who have these disorders.
Learning disabilities

This document provides an overview of various disabilities, including their definitions, characteristics, and strategies teachers can use to help students with those disabilities. It discusses specific learning disabilities, speech/language disabilities, emotional disturbances, autism, other health impairments, mental retardation, traumatic brain injury, hearing impairments, deafness, visual impairments, and deaf-blindness. For each disability, it outlines the IDEA definition, common characteristics students may exhibit, and practical classroom strategies for teachers to support those students.
SPECIAL EDUCATION.pptx
The document discusses several key aspects of special education including:
1) The federal categories of special education disabilities and examples like specific learning disability, speech impairment, and autism.
2) The learning environments of students with special needs, with 80% typically in regular classrooms requiring additional supports.
3) The individuals involved in IEP development including parents, teachers, representatives and the student.
4) Elements of IEPs like present levels, goals, family involvement and instructional implications.
5) Approaches to support students such as positive behavior supports, differentiated instruction, study skills and functional academics.
ADHD
This document discusses understanding learning disabilities and attention disorders. It defines learning disabilities as neurologically-based processing problems that can interfere with learning basic and higher-level skills. Signs of learning disabilities are often first diagnosed in school, but some individuals are not evaluated until later in life. Specific learning disabilities covered include dyslexia, dyscalculia, and non-verbal learning disabilities. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is defined as having trouble focusing attention and controlling impulsive behaviors. The document provides tips for instructing students with ADHD, such as including a variety of activities, interacting frequently, and emphasizing key points.
Learning disabilities
This document discusses learning disabilities (LDs), including definitions, types, causes, assessment, and intervention strategies. It defines LDs as neurodevelopmental disorders that affect how individuals acquire, retrieve, and use information. The main types discussed are dyslexia (problems with reading), dysgraphia (writing difficulties), and dyscalculia (math challenges). Causes can include genetic and neurological factors. Assessment involves screening, testing cognitive abilities, academic achievement, and processing skills. Intervention should be interdisciplinary, individualized, focus on skills gaps, and include developing education plans to monitor progress.

Presentation1.pptx
Some learners have difficulty communicating either verbally expressing ideas and needs or understanding what others say, which is known as a communication difficulty. Communication difficulties can include limited or unclear speech, difficulty saying or understanding words, and problems interacting socially. Specialists determine if a learner has a speech or language problem by taking a case history, testing hearing, assessing articulation skills, and evaluating language development, vocabulary, and language use through formal tests and natural observations. Communication difficulties are often first noticed by family, teachers, and caregivers and can negatively impact a child's academic performance if left untreated.
Learning disability
Learning disabilities can affect different areas including reading, writing, math, motor skills, and communication. They are caused by various biomedical, developmental, behavioral, emotional, social, and environmental factors. Signs include academic achievement lower than potential, perceptual and motor impairments, emotional issues, and speech or language disorders. Specific learning disabilities involve difficulties with auditory and visual perception, integrative processing, memory, expressive language, and motor skills. Management requires specialized teaching strategies tailored to the individual's needs such as multisensory learning, structured environments, and breaking down skills into steps.
