Specific Learning Disabilities

Specific learning disabilities (SLD) are neurodevelopmental disorders that affect a child's ability to acquire and use academic skills effectively. These disabilities impact one or more areas of learning, such as reading, writing, mathematics, or comprehension, despite average or above-average intelligence. Common types of specific learning disabilities include dyslexia (reading disorder), dysgraphia (writing disorder), and dyscalculia (mathematics disorder).

How Does it Affect Special Children:

Children with specific learning disabilities may struggle with various aspects of academic learning, including decoding words, spelling, writing fluency, mathematical calculations, and understanding complex ideas. These difficulties can affect their academic achievement, self-confidence, and motivation to learn. Despite their intelligence and potential, children with specific learning disabilities may experience frustration, anxiety, and low self-esteem, as they face challenges in keeping up with their peers and meeting academic expectations.

Specific Learning Disabilities Overview:

• Dyslexia: Difficulty with reading, spelling, and decoding words.

• Dysgraphia: Impaired handwriting, spelling, and written expression.

• Dyscalculia: Challenges with mathematical concepts, calculations, and problem-solving.

• Auditory Processing Disorder: Difficulty processing and interpreting auditory information.

• Visual Processing Disorder: Trouble understanding visual information and spatial relationships.

• Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities: Challenges with visual-spatial, social, and organizational skills.
