Students with LD have been found to be less competent as compared to normal children at understanding soap operas. Although language deficits are primary characteristics of learning disabilities and have been hypothesized to be related to social problems, few studies have examined the contribution of language deficits to social problems (Bryan, Sullivan-Burstein, Mathur, 1998)
The term includes such conditions as perceptual handicaps, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia'. (Siegel, 1999)
ANALYSIS What is now not taken into consideration is that there has been a lot of research done on LDs and children with emotional/behavior disorders (EBD), yet what needs to be noticed is how frequent has researches been conducted on children with both of these. "Characteristics common to both disability categories, such as deficits in executive function, hyperactivity, poor social skills, and inattention, provide further evidence of the association of learning and emotional/behavioral problems" (Rock, Fessler, Church, 1997)
Deficits in social skills are characteristic of both students with LD and those with EBD. If the child with draws himself/herself from the social circle, then the social rejection can put in danger the social and personal development of the child (Coleman, 1992; Kauffman, 1993; Rosenberg et al
DYSLEXIA Dyslexia is the most common disability and is the most widely studied learning disorder (Bigler 87). "Dyslexia is a language learning disorder that results in deficits in reading, spelling, and, often, written language" (Balise 135)
It discusses the subject groups, the methods of investigation and the importance of the study. DYSLEXIA Dyslexia is the most common disability and is the most widely studied learning disorder (Bigler 87)
"Dyslexia is a language learning disorder that results in deficits in reading, spelling, and, often, written language" (Balise 135). Classic dyslexia is associated with a phonological deficit (Das & Mishra 235)
(Cassidy, 2004) PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS The human race is faced with a plethora of psychiatric disorders that affect learning and memorizing abilities of an individuals. Some of the common ones are: (Cortiella
However, if an event is important, it causes the person to learn and hence, brings a change in the person's behavior. (Lutz & Huitt, 2003) There are three stages through which a behavioral change passes in order to get permanent
The counseling approach is very important in determining its success. The five main types of approach are: (Nelson-Jones
This definition of learning as a permanent change and therefore it eliminates the temporary mood swings and illnesses from it. In this paper, we will be focusing on two types of learning: (Wood
Their results explain: In those children whose language problems persist beyond the age of 51/2 years, approximately 50% of children with language impairment have reading problems. In studies of reading impairment where language competence has been measured, approximately 50% of children have been found to have some language difficulties (Baird, Slonis, Simonoff, & Dworzynski, 2011, pp
Research shows what happens to a child when they experience this kind of disorder. As Galaburda explains: "The defining symptom of developmental dyslexia is a severe and specific difficulty in reading acquisition that is unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and educational circumstances" (Galaburda, 2006, pp
(2013), state, developmental dyslexia could have a relationship between language impairment, as earlier mentioned. "An on-going debate surrounds the relationship between specific language impairment and developmental dyslexia, in particular with respect to their phonological abilities" (Ramus, 2013, pp
The last learning disability research is developmental dyscalculia. "Developmental Dyscalculia (DD) is a learning disorder affecting the ability to acquire school-level arithmetic skills, affecting approximately 3-6% of individuals" (Price, 2013, pp
Mothers of children with learning disabilities have been reported to suffer greater stress due to increased burden of care. The stigmatization of the family predisposes these mothers to mental disorders such as anxiety and depression (Abasiubong, Obembe, and Ekpo, 2006)
Depression can compound other problems as well, making the symptoms from other causes worse. However, teachers are not trained to recognize the symptoms of depression and other emotional disorders that can cause or worsen the effects of learning disabilities (Campbell, 2002)
, 2002). Increasing numbers of coexisting disorders is proportional to the amount of impairment in everyday functioning (Crawford, Kaplan, and Dewey, 2006)
Learning Disabilities and Depression Approximately one out of every seven people in the United States has been diagnosed with a learning disability at some time in their life (Jaffe-Gill & Benedictus, 2007)
The school plays an important role in the development of the child's emotional development. Difficulties at school can lead to difficulties in the emotional, social and family functioning of the child (Johnson, 2005)
