Learning Disabilities

Paper Summary:

This paper provides an insight into learning disabilities, neurological disorders that affect people's ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. It looks at how these limitations show up in many ways in individuals who are generally of average or above-average intelligence and how specific difficulties with oral and written language, coordination, self-control, or attention can extend to schoolwork and can impede learning to read, write, or do math. It also examines how learning disabilities may also cause major difficulties with organizational skills, social perception, and social interaction.

From the Paper:

"Difficulty manipulating small objects, poor balance, awkwardness with walking, running or climbing and a poor sense of surroundings can indicate a disorder involving motor skills and can affect the ability to learn, but do not meet the criteria for a specific learning disability, such as developmental speech and language, or academic skills disorder.
Problems regarding an individual's social skills may indicate a learning disorder. Disinterest with, or difficulty in interaction with one's peers, overly aggressive or withdrawn attitudes, sudden and extreme mood swings and/or frequent crying or tantrums are some signs of learning disabilities."
