Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are neurological disorders that impact an individual's ability to interpret what they see and hear or to connect information from different parts of the brain. These disorders are not indicative of intelligence levels; rather, they signify functional impairments in the brain's processing capabilities. Learning disabilities often manifest as difficulties with academic skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic. The medical community recognizes several specific learning disabilities, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, each affecting a different aspect of learning. They are often diagnosed through a combination of observation, educational and psychological testing, and a review of academic performance, following criteria set out in frameworks like the DSM-5.
The ten most common symptoms associated with learning disabilities include difficulty reading or understanding written content, challenges in phonemic awareness and decoding words, troubles with spelling and written expression, problems with mathematical reasoning and computation, delayed speech or language development, difficulty following instructions or directions, poor attention or focus, trouble organizing tasks or belongings, significant discrepancies between oral and written skills, and inconsistent school performance. These symptoms can vary widely in presentation and severity, often leading to issues in academic settings and challenges in acquiring certain life skills. Addressing these symptoms usually involves tailored educational interventions and support, encouraging strategies that play to the strengths of the individual to enhance learning and personal development.
Living with learning disabilities can lead to an unfocused, chaotic and under performing brain can leave you feeling helpless and overwhelmed. Life doesn’t have to be so difficult.
