Adjustment Problems Faced by Children with Learning Disabilities– Impact of Special Education

Abstract

Learning disabilities are professionally diagnosed difficulties with reading, writing, speaking, listening, spelling, reasoning or doing math. People with learning disabilities have trouble taking in information through their senses and processing that information accurately to the brain-Usually they will receive scrambling information like a distorted radio signal or fuzzy television picture. A child with Learning Disability appears to exhibit emotional problems due to adjustment difficulties resulting from academic failure. Sometimes kids have trouble expressing their feelings, calming themselves down, and reading nonverbal cues, which can lead to difficulty in the classroom and with their peers. Students with undetected learning disabilities might demonstrate undesirable behaviour for a variety of reasons. They might feel angry, sad, lonely, frustrated, or hopeless as a result of focusing on their difficulties. Special needs students are deprived of a suitable education when they are taught at a mismatched level with students how are significantly above their level. Children with learning disabilities may have problems with Academics, social, home and emotional aspects. These problems they may over come through attending special education classes and parental attention.  There is a need for special education for children with learning disability and conduct awareness programmes regarding learning disability and their common problems.
