HOW CHILDREN CAN COPE WITH LEARNING DISABILITY/COMPLAINT

 

WHAT’S A LEARNING COMPLAINT OR DISABILITY? 

 

A learning complaint is an information-processing problem that prevents a person from learning a skill and using it effectively. Learning diseases generally affect people of average or below-average intelligence. As a result, the complaint appears as a gap between anticipated ability, grounded on age and intelligence, and academic performance. 

 

Common learning diseases affect a child's capacities in reading, written expression, calculation, or verbal chops. 

 

 Reading 

 

Learning diseases in reading are generally based on difficulty perceiving a spoken word as a combination of distinct sounds. This makes it hard to understand how letter combinations represent sound and make a word. 

 

Problems with working memory — the capability to hold and manipulate information at the moment — can play a part. 

 

Indeed when introductory reading ability are learned, children may have difficulty with the following skills

 

 Reading at a typical pace 

 

 Understanding what they read 

 

 Recalling directly what they read 

 

 Making consequences grounded on their reading
