1. A learning disability interferes with one's ability to process or store information and can affect both children and adults. It creates a gap between one's true capabilities and daily performance.
2. While a learning disability is not due to low intelligence, it can obscure intelligence by making it difficult to process or store information. Teachers can help students develop strategies to compensate.
3. There is no single agreed upon definition of learning disabilities but areas of agreement include difficulties with academic achievement, uneven development patterns, and problems not being due to environmental or intellectual factors.
Introduction to learning disability some children will not be able to achiev...Babu Appat
Learning Disability (LD) is a generic term used to describe children with average or above-average intelligence who have great difficulty doing many of the things we take for granted, like speaking, being attentive, writing or reading. They also have problems reasoning and in doing arithmetic. These children in no way suffer from mental retardation, and in fact have a normal or even high IQ. In short, they have the ability but it’s not matched by performance. Because of these difficulties and the resulting frustration, these children either withdraw into a shell or display anti-social behaviour like disobeying teachers and parents or getting into fights with other children.
Learning disabilities are common among students and, as 21st century teachers, it is our responsibility to identify the students facing any such problem and provide remedial measures to them. Thus, it is very important for teachers to understand the meaning of Leaning Disability.
Here's a presentation on the meaning, types and symptoms of Learning Disability.
This is a small group work during my 1st year for Understanding Human Behavior subject. Our topic was related to IQ and IQ test. We covered some important parts about IQ and IQ test.

Learning disabilities in education are disorders to process information. The brain does not give proper signals to the body to understand what is happening in front of you. The student himself and the parents have to put much effort into making the child literate.
Understanding and Supporting Students with Learning Disabilities," aims to equip teachers with essential knowledge and strategies for effectively supporting students with learning disabilities (LD). It covers the definition and types of LD, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, and highlights their impact on academic performance and emotional well-being. The presentation includes guidelines on identifying LD, understanding legal frameworks like IDEA, and implementing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 Plans. It provides practical teaching strategies such as differentiated instruction and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), along with classroom accommodations and assistive technology. Emphasizing the importance of collaboration with specialists and continuous professional development, it also features case studies and solutions to common challenges. The presentation concludes with a Q&A session and resources for further learning, aiming to foster an inclusive and supportive educational environment.
Please note that these slides are for people who want to get an idea of what neurodevelopmental learning needs are. I have referenced relevant sources and credited them for their work.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. “Life is not so much a
matter of holding good
cards but of playing a
poor hand well”
3. Let’s Define a
Learning Disability
A learning disability interferes with someone’s
ability to store, process or produce information
Such disabilities affect both children and adults
Its not always immediately obvious that a person has a
learning disability
They can be quite subtle and go undetected
throughout life
4. The most straightforward indication is academic
failure or underachievement by someone who
seems capable of more
For the students we see in our classrooms,
learning disabilities create a gap between a
students true capacity and his or her day to day
performance
5. A learning disability is not indicative of lower intelligence. In
fact, people who have a learning disability are often very
intelligent
It is true, however, that their difficulty to process or store
information then causes them to see things differently and
sometimes obscures their intelligence
While they will always have a learning disability,
they can be taught strategies to compensate. We,
as classroom teachers, can help in this process
6. There is no clear and widely accepted definition
of "learning disabilities"
There are currently at least 12 definitions
that appear in the professional literature!
What is a Learning Disability?
7. Five Areas of Agreement
1.The learning disabled have difficulties with academic
achievement and progress, discrepancies exist
between a person's potential for learning and what he
actually learns
2.The learning disabled show an uneven pattern of
language development, and/or motor-development,
academic development and/or perceptual
development
3. All learning originates within the brain and, consequently,
a disorder in learning can be caused by a dysfunction in the
central nervous system
8. 4. Learning problems are not due to an
environmental disadvantage
5. Learning problems are not due
to intellectual disabilities or
emotional disturbances
9. In Other Words
The term learning disabilities refers to a
neurobiological disorder in one or more of the
basic processes involved in understanding spoken
or written language.
It may influence an individual’s ability to speak,
listen, read, write spell, reason, organize
information or do mathematical calculations.
11. Skill Areas That May Be
Affected By Learning Disabilities
Receptive & Expressive
Language
Auditory/Phonological
Processing
Visual-Motor
Processing
Visual Processing
Attention / Concentration
Memory
Metacognition
Organizational/Study Skills
Social Skills
12. Disorders of Attention
Does not focus when a lesson is
presented; short attention
span, easily distracted, poor
concentration; may display
hyperactivity
15. Lacks Phonological
Awareness
Poor at recognizing sounds of
language; cannot identify
phoneme sounds in spoken
language, and cannot
manipulate these sounds
16. Poor Motor Abilities
Difficulty with gross motor
abilities and fine motor
coordination
(exhibits general awkwardness
and clumsiness)
19. Reading Difficulties
About 80% of students with
learning disabilities have
disabilities in reading;
problems in learning to decode
words, basic word recognition
skills, or reading
comprehension
20. Looking just at the learning
disability is too limiting!
Students with learning
disabilities manifest
strengths and weaknesses in
!
different mental processes
Teachers need to look at
students’ islands of
competence!
Each Student is Unique!
21. Learning Styles
All learners have preferred ways of receiving
new and sometimes difficult information.
Awareness of these modalities for language
teachers are important so that they can
accommodate to the individual differences and
learning styles.
22. When we teach using the students'
different sensory modalities the class
as a whole receives information in one or
several channels
This Multisensory approach can also
reinforce a learner's use of their less
developed senses
Grinder, 1989
Sensory Modalities
23. Howard Gardner’s work on multiple
intelligences and the different ways that we
each learn, remember, perform, and understand
may be helpful
Of similar importance is Betty Edwards work on
the roles that the left-brain and the right-
brain play in our thinking, reasoning and
complex mental functions
Teachers can improve the learning climate for
many students and most assuredly for those
with a learning disability by planning tasks so
that differing intelligences are called upon and
by balancing the involvement required of each
hemisphere of the brain
24. Beginning learners of a second language do not
have native speaker competence in English
phonology
Thus, their language and literacy development
must take a somewhat different path than
from a native speaker's development
Many believe their path takes on qualities of a L1
learning disabled student, demanding a highly
individualized approach with linguistic
instruction and remediation (Jannuzi, 1998)
I Teach Everyone Like They
Are LD!
25. The burden is on us as teachers to ensure that the
classroom environment does not perpetuate learning
failure.
Students who encounter reading problems suffer from
many consequences of a reading disability. In school
these students are forced to see day after day, that
they use textbooks they cannot read and homework they
cannot do.
In response, they may turn to misbehavior or simply give
up, displaying what is called learned helplessness.
26. Whenever appropriate, present material
using graphic and/or sensory media
Combine both auditory and visual
stimuli, say it and write it on the board
whenever possible
Use videos, demonstrations, and
concrete materials
