Learning Disabilities

There is no such thing as a learning disability. The government claims that there is one because they want to make money off of their drugs that can drastically harm a child's health. ADD or ADHD is just an imbalance of brain chemicals that can balanced very easily by fish oil or by visiting the chiropractor. there is such a thing as learning disability .they have classes in school for students that have learning disabilitties to tought

A learning disability is a condition which hinders a persons' learning. There are many different types of learning disabilities, ranging in severity from mild to severe. Dyslexia, for example, makes it difficult to read words in a 'proper' manner, causing the afflicted individual strain when trying to read and comprehend material. Some forms of dyslexia inhibit the afflicted's ability to write; what takes one person an hour to write may take another five, depending on the level of disability at hand.
A learning disability is a disability that makes it harder for people to do well in school and in life just in general. It could make is harder to read or write or make it hard to concentrate during school. It could make it harder for people to do activities.

The attentional dyslexia causes an impairment of reading words in sentences, since the defect causes many words to be visible at the same time.

Psychokinesis means the problems some people face while reading or while writing. The acts of reading and writing cause anxiety.

some children have learning disabilities, intelligence is not impaired

all I know is autism.

probably in about first grade, at about six or seven, the first time when the person is expected to do real work in a variety of skills. the teacher is given an opportunity to see if the person has an unusual lack of skill in a certain area.

They start to learn how to do things later than normal people. Like talking and walking. It is found in children under 18. Symptoms usually start at birth or later in childhood.

The disability rights movement began in the 1960s. Advocacy groups were inspired by the African-American civil rights movement and sought equal rights for those with physical and mental handicaps.

Educational planning consists of the normative, strategic and operational stages. The normative stage is the one in which policies are developed and formed.

Dyslexia is a learning disability that impairs a person's ability to read,[1] and which can manifest itself as a difficulty with phonological awareness, phonological decoding, orthographic coding, auditory short-term memory, and/or rapid naming.

Yes. People with learning disabilities may be of any faith.

i had been fasly accuse by school nurse of causing physical harm to child, when school had ask child what had happen, child said she injuried herself. And they called DCFS on mother. NO law enforcement were involved nor any charges or arrest were made. And school was aware that child had learning disability and social behaviorl issues and was under doctors care and been eveluated by mental health psyathric dpt and was dynosised with atisum with sensory issuses and adhd? School had been under sst plan for student and advised to inform parent if any issues with child to advise mother rather than calling dcfs to resolve issues?

How does labelling affect the lives of people with learning disabilities?"

i think it depends in what situation. if you are at an educational setting then i think you should as the laws state that anyone with learning difficulties / disabiltites is obliged to provide appropriate resources and support to help your learning more effective. so, if they are made aware then they do have a responsibility to support your needs.

Women are stupider than men.

Early diagnosis and intensive intervention offer the best prognosis for individuals with fragile X syndrome. Adults with fragile X syndrome may benefit from vocational training and may need to live in a supervised setting. Life span is typically normal

This answer would be derogatory, so we won't put any insult words down. You should call them people.

Yes. An extra chromosome in each cell causes ' Downs Syndrome' which badly affects the life expectancy and learning ability of a child born with this genetic defect

Often, children with learning disabilities create stories. It is known to science that children often develop this habbit once bullied or hurt. Some times it is developed through sibling rivalry. It is important for guardians to support the child in every way possible. DO NOT treat these children like they are special. In this case, children are looking for attension. This can be caused from lack of parental guidence/supervision or favoritism. Understand that you cannot believe everything you hear from your child. Punishment is not the answer, clearly set boundries. "Ruff Housing" should be strickly forbidden. Children with this case should not be locked in there rooms unless punished other wise, they tend to feel forgotten. Do not let children such as these to play video games over 30 minutes. Children under 13 should ONLY watch PG and G movies, other ratings are inapporopriate and tend to cause the child to want to relate to the movie. Your child will make up stories. In this case, sometimes the child will believe its true after an amount of time. Try looking for a face or motion the child does when he/her lies.

yes . it is . nondisjunction is takes place during meiosis.

Dyscalculia, is similar to Dyslexia. It is a specific learning disability (SLD) involving innate difficulty in learning or comprehending Mathematics. Scientists have yet to understand the causes of dyscalculia. They have been investigating in several domains. * Neurological: Dyscalculia has been associated with lesions to the supramarginal and angular gyri at the junction between the temporal and parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex.[2][3] * Deficits in working memory: Adams and Hitch[4] argue that working memory is a major factor in mental addition. From this base, Geary[5] conducted a study that suggested there was a working memory deficit for those who suffered from dyscalculia. However, working memory problems are confounded with general learning difficulties, thus Geary's findings may not be specific to dyscalculia but rather may reflect a greater learning deficit. Studies of mathematically gifted students have shown increased EEG activity in the right hemisphere during algorithmic computational processing. There is some evidence of right hemisphere deficits in dyscalculia. Other causes may be: * Short term memory being disturbed or reduced, making it difficult to remember calculations. * Congenital or hereditary disorders. Studies show indications of this, but the evidence is not yet concrete.[citation needed] * A combination of these factors. Dyscalculia was originally identified in case studies of patients who suffered specific arithmetic disabilities as a result of damage to specific regions of the brain. Recent research suggests that dyscalculia can also occur developmentally, as a genetically-linked learning disability which affects a person's ability to understand, remember, or manipulate numbers or number facts (e.g., the multiplication tables). The term is often used to refer specifically to the inability to perform arithmetic operations, but it is also defined by some educational professionals and cognitive psychologists as a more fundamental inability to conceptualize numbers as abstract concepts of comparative quantities (a deficit in "number sense").[1] Those who argue for this more constrained definition of dyscalculia sometimes prefer to use the technical term Arithmetic Difficulties (AD) to refer to calculation and number memory deficits.

Yes - it's called dyscalculia and is defined as a special learning disability in terms of learning mathematical concepts.

He was reported to be a late talker, but the in itself is not a measure of learning ability.

There is a possibility that he had a type of autism, but there are so many children diagnosed with this disability now, it is questionable whether they had the ability to understand his situation at that time.

It has been noted that autistic people can perform amazing acts of cognitive processing, so there is some merit to the question.

Among people who have a learning disability, in about 50% of causes has been identified. In people with a severe or profound learning disability, the rate of unknown cases is 'approximately' 25%
