4. Epilepsy
Epilepsy stems off from neurological disorders that affect the central nervous system, which
hampers the electric signals that the nerve cells use to control the body’s functions,
senses and thoughts. This disorder can be brought upon by a severe head injury,
meningitis, or genetics passed on by either parent. Children with epilepsy are prone to
seizures, which can include uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of consciousness or
even unexplainable fear and anxiety.

5. Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that happens when a growing child sustains a brain
injury, or suffers abnormal brain development. It can happen before, during or
immediately after birth. Usual symptoms will include a wide range of loss in body
movement, muscle control and coordination, as well as basic motor skills.

6. Dysgraphia
having trouble converting their thoughts into writing or drawing. Poor handwriting is a
hallmark of dysgraphia but is far from the only symptom. Sufferers struggle to translate
their thoughts into writing, whether in spelling, grammar, vocabulary, critical thinking, or
memory. Individuals with dysgraphia may exhibit difficulty with letter spacing, poor motor
planning and spatial awareness, and trouble thinking and writing simultaneously

7. Dyscalculia
Individuals with
dyscalculia struggle with math
concepts, numbers, and reasoning.

8. Language processing
disorder
A subset of auditory processing disorder, language processing disorder arises when an
individual has specific challenges in processing spoken language, impacting both receptive
and expressive language. According to the Learning Disabilities Association of America, in
language processing disorder, “there is difficulty attaching meaning to sound groups that
form words, sentences, and stories

9. Autism
Autism is defined as a developmental disability that persists through a person’s life, which
affects their ability in making sense of things around them as well as communicating with
other people. Common symptoms usually include intense reactions to sounds, smells and
lights, delayed language development and a preference to be alone

10. Down Syndrome
Down syndrome occurs when an extra copy
of chromosome is produced in an
embryo, causing complications in the
course of development and brings
about certain physical characteristics
that are common amongst afflicted
children, such as flat noses, low muscle
tone and small ears. Most of them will
also display mild to moderate issues
with their abilities in thinking and
reasoning

11. Deafness
An inability to comprehend verbal language due
to an inability to hear.
a hearing impairment that is so severe that
the child is impaired in processing linguistic
information through hearing, with or without
amplification.” The phrase “with or without
amplification” is significant as it indicates
that a hearing aid will not provide sufficient
accommodation so that the student can
succeed in the classroom.

12. Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities
Nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD) is
a learning disability that causes
difficulty with motor, visual-
spatial, and social skills. Children
with NVLD are often well-spoken
and can write well, but struggle
with subtle social cues and
comprehension of abstract
concepts.

13. Speech and language disorder
a communication disorder such
as stuttering, impaired
articulation, a language
impairment, or a voice
impairment that adversely
affects a child's educational
performance.

14. Auditory processing
disorder
hearing problem that affects about
3%–5% of school-aged children.
Kids with this condition, also known
as central auditory processing
disorder (CAPD), can't understand
what they hear in the same way
other kids do. This is because their
ears and brain don't fully
coordinate.

15. Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a language processing disorder that
impacts reading, writing, and comprehension.
Dyslexics may exhibit difficulty decoding words
or with phonemic awareness, identifying
individual sounds within words. Dyslexia often
goes diagnosed for many years and often
results in trouble with reading, grammar,
reading comprehension, and other language
skills.

16. Dyspraxia
having difficulty planning what to do
and how to do it. Dyspraxia is a
developmental co-ordination
disorder and is also classed as a
motor learning disability.
Particular symptoms or signs that
may be present in school-age
children with dyspraxia include:
Having difficulty when in group
situations.

17. ADHD
Attention deficit Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is
considered a neurological disorder.
People with ADHD can be creative problem
solvers, good public speakers, energetic and
enthusiastic, have good conceptual skills and
intuition, and also have difficulty paying
attention, controlling impulsive behaviours and
maintaining focus on tasks.

18. Visual perceptual/visual
motor deficit
exhibit poor hand-eye coordination, often
lose their places when reading, and have
difficulty with pencils, crayons, glue,
scissors, and other fine motor
activities. They may also confuse
similar looking letters, have trouble
navigating their surroundings, or
demonstrate unusual eye activity when
reading or completing assignments.
