Special needs

Hello! 💭🙈

Today, we are talking about a crucial topic if we want to face the challenges of our profession. We are referring to special needs in education. 

Everybody knows that each child learns in a way, one method can be useful for one child but not for another. Therefore, we are constantly paying attetion to these differences among the students in order to overcome everyone’s difficulties. However, there are some children who have learning disabilities, these disabilities make them learning differently from their peers, therefore, their learning is usually delayed compared to other students.

Learning disabilities are nerologically-based processing problems. These problems may interfere with learning basic skills such as writing, reading, time planning, organization, attention or memory, among others. These dissabilities have a huge impact when it comes the educational context, however, they can also affect the personal life of the individuals, causing problems with the relationships with friends, family and in the workplace. Thus, it is crucial to diagnose those dissabilities during the school years. For that reason, teachers and parents must pay attetion to any signs or symptoms. 

 📎Now, we provide you with a list of the most common learning disabilites: 

• 
  
•  Auditory Processing Disorder (APD): this condition affects how sounds are processed and interpreted by the brain. 
• Dyscalculia: it affects the ability to understand numbers. 
• Dysgraphia: this dissability is seen when it comes the handwriting ability. 
• Dyslexia: it affects reading and related language-based processing skills. 
•  ADHD: this disorder includes diffculty staying focused and paying attention. 

 Of course, there are more disorders related to children’s learning skills. As teachers, we must know how to adapt our lessons and activities to these gifted children. 🙆🙅
