Concept development in learning disabled children

Dr. Sharmista

Abstract :

Learning disability is a classification including several areas of functioning in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner, usually caused by an unknown factor. Learning disability refers to significant learning problems in an academic area. Learning disabilities are life long.However, with appropriate cognitive and academic interventions and technology many can overcome the effects of their disability.Individuals with learning disabilities can face unique challenges that are often pervasive throughout the lifespan.The learning disabled cannot learn the concepts as easily as the normal children. Depending on the type and severity of the disability, interventions and current technologies may be used to help the individual learn concepts that will foster future success. Some interventions can be quite simplistic, while others are intricate and complex. The need for appropriate and timely assessment, remediation and education is critical if these individuals are to participate fully in society. Given both remediation and a solid general education, elementary students with LD can learn the concepts to the same levels as their peers and make relatively smooth transitions to middle or secondary school. By addressing students’ specific learning needs, schools can foster students’ engagement, and willingness to take risks and responsibility for learning. Such motivation promotes the completion of their studies and, thereby, creates openings to further educational options.
