7th Special Needs Talk: Understanding Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia & Dyspraxia

Learning disabilities are neurologically-based processing problems. These processing problems can interfere with learning basic skills such as reading, writing and/or math. They can also interfere with higher level skills such as organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, long or short term memory and attention. It is important to realize that learning disabilities can affect an individual’s life beyond academics and can impact relations with family, friends and workplace.

 

Let’s understand more by educating and equipping ourselves with the necessary information to detect signs and symptoms of these learning disorders.
