Learning disabilities is a neurobiological disorder of cognitive and/or language processing caused by abnormalities in the cerebral cortex of the brain. Our cerebral cortex is home to many different cognitive functions such as attention, the encoding of new information, detention of newly learned material, the word knowledge, reasoning, processing speed, reading, mathematical skills, writing, comprehension of verbal instructions and many others. These cognitive functions allow us to communicate with others, learn new information, understand requests and questions, to express our thoughts and questions, and solve day-to-day problems. However, some children do not develop these cognitive abilities of the rate of their peers to do. As a result, their thinking, language and learning skills are not as strong as in other children and prevent them from acquiring the academic skills and daily living.
Not all are necessarily weak cognitive skills, in this case, and each child develops its own pattern of cognitive weaknesses and strengths. As a neuropsychologist, it is my task to assess and examine the pattern of Cognitive strengths and weaknesses of each child. Monster it helps to know what cognitive skills are strong and weak in order to determine which therapies, remediation and educational services, a child needs to learn better.
When I talk about learning styles and academic difficulties with parents, they always ask what might have caused these learning problems and cognitive weaknesses. Most children are born with congenital cognitive weaknesses. Some children acquired these problems as a result of seizures, brain injury, neonatal lines and other neurological conditions.
After many years of research, neuroscientists have now determined that many children with nonverbal learning disabilities have underdeveloped or dysfunctional white matter regions of the brain "1 also, dyslexia be linked to abnormalities in the size and function of the left hemisphere, who are involved in language processing; lower brain activation during the auditory processing; the corpus collosum and less. We still have a lot to study about the brain, but these are the first hard facts, which tells us that the root of all learning disorders in malformations of the brain.
Around 8-10% children (more boys than girls) has a learning difficulties or more, which affect their academic and General adaptive functioning. Learning disability presents as a serious difficulty with reading (dyslexia), write (dysgraphia), talk time (Aphasia) or the arithmetic (dyscalculia) there are unexpected, given the person's intellectual ability. In my experience, children do not necessarily meet the criteria for dyslexia or dyscalculia but still struggling to learn specific topics due to Cognitive deficits, such as Visual processing disorder, auditory processing disorder, memory disorder or language disorders.
Learning difficulties are different from mental or physical disability, but it can occur with different emotional or medical conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, seizures, brain injury, and others. It does not involve mental retardation or autism. Learning disabled individuals can actually be very light, but with specific learning deficit. I have examined the talented children engineering projects superior intelligence, which had very weak academic skills. Where is the line between a mild learning difficulty, that many of us have a disability and? The most important aspects of measuring objectively diagnose a handicap Cognitive and academic skills and determination about suspected learning problem significantly interfere with the academic and adaptive functioning.
More important, learning difficulties, only shall be without prejudice to the right of the children's academic performance, but may also have effects in other contexts, including family and social function. For example, a child due to certain Perceptual deficits misunderstand or misinterpret facial expressions, body language or verbal cues of others leads to difficult social interactions. Many learning disabled children I have examined have problems making the purchase in a shop, completing requests for services, organize a tour and performs other complex day-to-day activities. In addition, probably children struggling to learn more ridiculed and bullied by their classmates or other children. Increased stress over academic performance and social difficulties can ultimately increase the risk of social isolation, emotional problems (e.g., anxiety and depression), substance and drug abuse, and a school dropping.
Learning disability does not go away when individuals are getting older. Adults with learning difficulties are still experiencing particular difficulties in reading, spelling, solve mathematical problems, or processing and remember the information. The underlying cognitive deficits that caused the learning problems remain in the first place in adulthood. This disability prevents the adults from promoting their training, acquire new responsibilities and effectively carry out their work (i.e., participating in meetings, prepare projects, read reports and non-fiction, etc). It is therefore critical to detect such difficulties in early childhood, when the brain remain plastics and changed to the many changes via speech and occupational therapy, cognitive coaching and should, and remediation services.
