This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning disabilities are among the most common disabilities experienced in childhood and adulthood. Although identifying learning disabilities in a school setting is a complex process, it is particularly challenging in low- and middle-income countries that lack the appropriate resources, tools, and supports. This guide provides an introduction to learning disabilities and describes the processes and practices that are necessary for the identification process. It also describes a phased approach that countries can use to assess their current screening and evaluation services, as well as determine the steps needed to develop, strengthen, and build systems that support students with learning disabilities. This guide also provides intervention recommendations that teachers and school administrators can implement at each phase of system development. Although this guide primarily addresses learning disabilities, the practices, processes, and systems described may be also used to improve the identification of other disabilities commonly encountered in schools.

Book Synopsis The Nature of Learning Disabilities by : Kenneth A. Kavale
Download or read book The Nature of Learning Disabilities written by Kenneth A. Kavale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The category of learning disabilities continues to be among the most contentious in special education. Much of the debate and dissent emanates from a lack of understanding about its basic nature. The failure to evolve a comprehensive and unified perspective about the nature of learning disabilities has resulted in the concept being lost. The loss is best illustrated through the failure to answer this seemingly simple question: What is a learning disability? Using historical, empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and philosophical analyses, this volume explores a number of problems and issues facing the field of learning disabilities. The chapters cover historical influences, definitional problems, primary characteristics, assessment practices, theoretical development, major themes, research and measurement models, and long-term outcomes. The goal is to explicate the nature of learning disabilities by analyzing what it was supposed to be, what it has become, and what it might be. A predominant theme running through this text is the necessity for the field of learning disabilities to regain integrity by recapturing its essence.
Book Synopsis Specific Learning Disabilities by : Yitzchak Frank
Download or read book Specific Learning Disabilities written by Yitzchak Frank and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a concise but comprehensive review of Specific Learning Disabilities, with a special attention to the biology of these diverse conditions. The reader will get a review of most aspects of SLD, including the different clinical syndromes (mostly dyslexia and dyscalculia), the clinical manifestations and the therapeutic approaches. It is unique in the proportion of its content dedicated to the biological aspects of SLD. It attempts to assemble and present the biological knowledge which has been accumulated on these conditions. This knowledge includes the neurological anatomy of dyslexia and dyscalculia, demonstrated with the help of modern neuro-imaging studies, and the physiology and the genetics of these conditions, again demonstrated by recently available technologies. These new technologies produced major discoveries related to SLD including the importance of phonological processing in reading, the presence of "number center ̈in the brain, and the rain networks involved in reading. We recognize that many dyslexic subjects have a deficit in aspects of language processing, specifically phonological processing; that dyscalculia can be the result of a number of distinct cognitive impairments, and that the basic underlying deficit in many cases of SLD may be a genetic variation. The same new biological investigative techniques can, like never before, measure the outcome of therapeutic techniques and learning methods. Such measurements will, in the future, be the "gold standard ̈in assessing the efficacy of different methods of classroom teaching in regular and different learners. Last, unlike many other publications on SLD, this book discusses the relatively unrecognized emotional aspects of SLD, and the sometime devastating effects that these conditions have on the life of affected subjects and their families, in and out of the classroom.
Book Synopsis Children and Learning Difficulties (Thoroughly Revised Edition, 2023) by : Onita Nakra
Download or read book Children and Learning Difficulties (Thoroughly Revised Edition, 2023) written by Onita Nakra and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written to enable educators and parents to understand the nature of learning disability so they in turn can transform the capabilities of their students. Many children have difficulties learning in school and college, but not all are learned disabled. A specific learning disability occurs when difficulty with reading, writing or mathematics actively interferes with the learning process. Most learning disabled individuals are bright, intelligent and creative, yet may struggle in reading, writing or arithmetic. This book discusses how to identify the exact nature of the learning disability, outlines procedures for assessment and diagnosis, and suggests methods that have proven to be effective. Practical guidelines and resources are available for teachers, educators and parents. Anyone working with a learning disabled individual will find this book an invaluable resource and tool. Children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities do become contributing adults, head corporations and institutions, and make remarkable achievements in diverse fields. The diagnosis of a learning disability is no longer a stigmatising label but a stamp that upholds the child’s uniqueness. Written in clear, simple language, the book is an absolute must for parents, educators and other concerned individuals who want to jumpstart their child’s educational future.

Book Synopsis Language Deprivation and Deaf Mental Health by : Neil S. Glickman
Download or read book Language Deprivation and Deaf Mental Health written by Neil S. Glickman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Deprivation and Deaf Mental Health explores the impact of the language deprivation that some deaf individuals experience by not being provided fully accessible language exposure during childhood. Leading experts in Deaf mental health care discuss the implications of language deprivation for a person’s development, communication, cognitive abilities, behavior, and mental health. Beginning with a groundbreaking discussion of language deprivation syndrome, the chapters address the challenges of psychotherapy, interpreting, communication and forensic assessment, language and communication development with language-deprived persons, as well as whether cochlear implantation means deaf children should not receive rich sign language exposure. The book concludes with a discussion of the most effective advocacy strategies to prevent language deprivation. These issues, which draw on both cultural and disability perspectives, are central to the emerging clinical specialty of Deaf mental health.
